Cadet

The Frensham Pond Cadet fleet is one of the most competitive in the country. Race training takes place at Frensham on Saturday mornings from 9.00 until 14.30. The club has Volvo RYA Champion Club status for youth sailing and the Cadet class is heavily involved with this. For more information see the Champion Club pages.

The Cadet is 3.2 metres in length and uses 3 sails - mainsail, jib and spinnaker. The boat is an established racing design for two novice/experienced junior sailors aged between 8 and 17 years old. In recent years low maintenance fibreglass versions have replaced the traditional wooden construction.

Prices vary from £200 for an old, wooden Mk1 or 2, which will need lots of loving care and attention, up to £3000 for a brand new fibreglass Mk4. Many older wooden boats are lovingly maintained to high competitive standards.

Numerous sailing superstars started in Cadets like Victoria and Emma Rawlinson, Sam Carter, Joe Glanfield, Adrian Stead, Nigel Barrow, Andrea Brewster, Pippa Wilson, Roger Gilbert and Nick Craig.
