Solway Yacht Club Cadet Week 2023


After a weekend of near gales that forced the cancellation of the Hestan Island Race and the final races in the Spring Series, the wind dropped, the sun came out and fifty-five smiling young faces from 8 to 21 arrived to join the annual Cadet Week in Kippford.


As now well established, participants were split into complete beginners, improvers groups, coached racers, and the hot-shot racing fleet. Joanne Harris, the Club's Cadet Officer, launched the week, briefing the cadets, parents, and volunteers with the plans for the days ahead.


Throughout the week the "Red Caps" training and improver fleets were making great progress, with the young sailors gaining in both their sailing skills and confidence as the days passed. Next year, they will take the next steps along the progression pathway with many joining the coached racers. "Most Improved" awards went to Katie Gascoigne, Darcy Gibson, Arthur Hampton, and Niamh Watson.


With the clubhouse full to capacity, prize-giving was a great celebration of everything the young sailors had achieved while the Sportsmanship Trophy was well deserved by Tamsin and Keiran with the Topsy Turvey trophy going to Elise and Frazer who got more than their fair share of capsize practice!
