We are glad to share the fantastic news that Salisbury Unit has been awarded The Drakes Drum at this past weekend's Southern Area Conference.

This is a Southern Area Award for achieving the highest number of Seamanship Qualifications per cadet, and has been awarded based on the efforts of the whole ship's company of Salisbury Unit for 2024.

A special thank you to all our cadet forces adult volunteers who continue to deliver the Sea Cadet Experience to such high standards, and to all our cadets who are always so eager to learn.

Congratulations to our Sea Cadets and Royal Marine Cadets who participated in the Wessex District Drill and Piping Competition on Sunday 16th February. Following lots of practice, polishing, ironing, and sewing, it was all worth it with some great results. Thank you to our cadet forces adult volunteers for giving up their spare time to train the cadets ready for this competition.

It was a chilly, very calm and mostly windless day at Spinnaker Sailing Club today, so it was a good job we weren't sailing. We had a group of Juniors and Sea Cadets powerboating and learning how to keep warm! We now have a few more Power Level 1 qualified Juniors and Cadets and a few gaining experience as they work towards Power Level 2.

We were racing at Spinnaker Sailing Club yesterday in the Icicle Series, with four RS Quests and two RS Zests. We were also providing Safety Boat cover for the Club racing. Well done to all our Cadets who braved the cold and challenging conditions (not much wind).
