Christmas is coming early for Sea Cadets, as we are launching our brand new flagship in Spain on Friday 19 December. The ceremony will take place at the Astilleros Gondan Shipyard, where she is being built.

The new 32 metre brig, named TS Royalist to honour our previous flagship, will be ready for the 2015 sailing season, and will offer greater use of space, with better all-round sailing ability and performance. We hope she will continue the TS Royalist legacy and continue to give young people offshore adventures for another 40 years.

Today HRH Prince Andrew unveiled a plaque at the new Derwenthaugh Sea Cadet Training Centre (SCTC)! Sea Cadet volunteers worked tirelessly to raise the £650,000 needed to build the Derwenthaugh SCTC, which is based at the Derwenthaugh Marina in Newcastle upon Tyne. The fundraising team was headed up by volunteer Mr Victor Spong MBE.

The training centre opened on Friday 1 November 2013, and already has seen hundreds of local Sea Cadets use the training centre to learn how to sail, kayak, canoe, windsurf as well as a host of other waterborne activities.

Derwenthaugh Sea Cadet Training Centre Principal, Lt Cdr (SCC) Alfie Simpson MBE says "This new boating station means the world to us! We have all worked so hard to fundraise and manage the new build, and we are delighted that HRH Prince Andrew is unveiling a plaque."
