We are extremely grateful to Awards for All Wales part of the Big Lottery for funding our IT Project. This go towards creating an IT Suite, which will not just benefit Fishguard Sea Cadets, but also other community organisations in the town. This will also help our teaching going forward and create more opportunities for online courses for both our adult volunteers and the cadets.

This is a fantastic set of results, which meant Fishguard came second overall for the event.
Cadets then went on to compete at the Area event on 12th August, which included the Windsurfing event. Amy Thomson is now through to the National Kayaking event in London in early September, and Mia Childs will compete at the National Windsurfing event at the end of October, A First for Fishguard.
This will mean in 2017, we have Fishguard Cadets through to the National Events in Rowing, Sailing, Kayaking and Windsurfing. This has never before been achieved and is a fantastic achievement, one which the whole Unit is very proud of.
Fishguard Sea Cadets took part in the South West Area Sailing Competition in Portsmouth over the weekend of 14th-16th of July.
We entered the RS Quest Class (Cdt 1st Finn and Freya), who went on to win all their races and picked up Gold Medal and also we entered the Pico Class (OC Evie), who also won all her races and picked up Gold Medal. This is our best results at an Area Sailing Competition for a considerable amount of years, and is a fantastic achievement. All 3 cadets now go forward to the National Sailing Event on the Merseyside at the end of September. This will be the units biggest entry at a National Sailing Event. We are really pleased at the progress shown in both Classes, and the progress we are making in Sailing generally.
Junior Mixed Yole (OC Amy & Cdt 1st Chris) - Silver Medal
Open Yole Single Male (Cdt 1st Finn) - Gold Medal
Open Yole Single Female (Cdt 1st Efa) - Gold Medal
Junior Girls (Trinity) - Silver Medal
Everybody really worked hard all day to achieve some amazing results. Finn and Efa will now represent not only Fishguard and West Wales but the South West Area at the National Rowing Competition at the Excel Centre, London on the 2nd Sept.
Now the real Training begins!
5 Cadets from Fishguard this year represented the unit at the West Wales Sailing Competition at Tata Lake, Neath. This year was our biggest entry for quite a number of years. We have been training this year in the new RS Quest Dinghy as well as the new Toppers, which this year we have been fortunate to expand our fleet. Help from local organisations and grants has enabled us to expand the range and number of sessions for training and get more cadets sailing. The final results were.
RS Quest Class (Cdts 1st Class Finn & Freya) - Winners
Pico Class (Ordinary Cadet Evie) - Winner
Topper Class (Cdt Daisy) - 3rd Place
Junior Topper Class (Cdt Amelia) - Winner
"We are all very proud of their achievements this year" said OIC Chris Peake
Our RS Quest Class and Pico Class winners now go through to the Area Sailing event in Portsmouth this weekend. We wish them all the very best of luck.
