They tested their sailing abilities under the watchful eyes of qualified instructors from the Royal Yachting Association, in sometimes lively conditions.

And the sight of the brightly coloured sails of the dinghies bobbing about in the harbour was an added attraction for visitors and residents walking along Littlehampton’s riverside walkway.

Prizes for the most improved cadet went to Tom Browne and Nicole Payne, while prizes for outstanding cadet, in association with the Littlehampton Aircrew Association, went to Binnie Burgess and Jade Marsden.

Ken Whitmore, who represents the cadets on the club management committee, said: “The cadets have worked hard to make a success of all their events, and deserve the generous and grateful thanks of the management committee.”
