The Cadet is a junior trainer sailing dinghy designed by Jack Holt, in 1947, who was commissioned to design it by Yachting World-magazine.

Background

The boat is crewed by two people and sails with a bermuda rigged mainsail, jib and spinnaker. The Cadet is recognized by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) as an International Competitive Youth Sailing Class since 1958.

The Cadet is sailed internationally throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. Originally made of wood, the majority of the international fleet is now constructed of fiberglass. The strongest fleets are currently situated in the UK and Argentina, with mostly teams from Argentina winning the World Championships in recent years (16 Argentinian World Champions in the last 20 years!).

The Cadet is 3.2 meters long and weighs 54 kilograms. The side decks are designed so that a capsize normally does not fill the hull with water. The sail area is 4.55 to 4.65 square meters. Over 9000 Cadets have been built worldwide by registered builders on three continents.
