EYC Cadet Week

3rdCB are invited to enter Scouts/Explorers who aren't already members of Essex Yacht Club to the Club's annual Cadet Week – a week of racing, fun & games, and social activities based at EYC’s HQ “Wilton”, and may borrow sailing dinghies from The Den to enter (single or double handed). It’s a really fun week both on and off the water, and the sailing experience of Scouts who’ve entered previously has increased immeasurably.

Cost: £80 per person, payable directly to EYC. A separate cadet week registration form will be sent to be completed for EYC to confirm attendance once we've allocated a boat.

Please note that this is not a Scouting activity, one parent is expected to be present at the Yacht Club during the day to help out with the event and be responsible for their child. Prior sailing experience is required for the use of 3rdCB boats: to the standard of RYA Stage 2 - the ability to rig, launch & sail unsupervised is the minimum expectation, but please talk to the the sailing instructors about it beforehand if in doubt. We’re not able to provide tuition during the week.

Boat allocations are first come first served.
