650 cadets from across the country have the chance to see some of the Olympic sailing from one of the best vantage points when they visit HMS Bulwark during the games between 25 July and 12 August.
The Royal Navy are providing security at the Olympic and Paralympic sailing site in Weymouth throughout the games and as the Sea Cadet’s biggest supporter, they have offered 650 cadets from all over the UK a chance to come on board.
Visiting the site in groups during the sailing events lucky cadets will experience life on a naval vessel, and get the chance to watch the Olympic sailing from an impressive vantage point.
The first wave of cadets arrived this week on 25 July ahead of the games and tried their hand at navigation, signaling and even dentistry!
Leading cadet Emily,16 from Twickenham unit is also on board too for a week's work experience with the RN, she said; 'It's amazing, everyone is really friendly and the insight I am getting is priceless, thanks so much!
