WFYC Cadet Easter Sailing Event
Join us for a fun Easter sailing challenge at WFYC!

⛵ Sail the course and collect points
🥪 Basket meal after sailing
🐣 Easter prize presentation
💷 Cost:
£15 – Using your own boat
£20 – Including club boat hire
👥 Who:
All cadets welcome
⚠️ Please note: This is a club-run event, not a formal training session, so on-water support will not be at the same level as during training events.
For younger or less confident cadets, parents are welcome to helm or crew, or there will be some adults and older cadets available to sail with them. Please let us know ahead of time so we can help pair people up.
🍻 Parents and family are very welcome to stay and watch – the club bar will be open, so you can enjoy a relaxing Bank Holiday drink while the cadets are out on the water.
It should be a fantastic, relaxed day on the water – we look forward to seeing you there! ⛵🐣
Cancelled - Cadets Oscars and prize giving
Hi everyone 👋
Unfortunately, due to poor uptake, we’ve made the decision not to go ahead with the planned Cadet Oscars event on 21st March.
Anyone who has already purchased a ticket will of course receive a full refund – we’ll be in touch directly to arrange this.
We do have some really exciting plans in the pipeline for this year, which will all build up to a Cadets Presentation Event at the end of the year 🎉⛵
Thank you as always for your support, and we look forward to seeing you all very soon!
