After a whole season lost to Covid 19 restrictions, Clevedon Sailing Club Cadets were back on the marine lake again on Wednesday 7th April. While a
little cold, sailing conditions were perfect, with a light north westerly breeze, allowing the cadets to reacquaint themselves with the boats without too much drama. The marine lake is the perfect place to start to learn to sail, safely enclosed by the sea wall and with a shallow depth should anybody capsize. Cadet sailing normally takes place on a Friday evening during the spring and summer, sailing on the sea when the tide times and weather conditions allow. The cadet programme starts in earnest on Friday 16th April when the tides will allow the cadets to sail on the sea. Cadets start at 10 or 11 years old and progress through the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) syllabus including training as Assistant Instructors as they get older and more experienced.
