The Sea Cadets

Pulling / rowing

What most people call rowing, the Sea Cadets call pulling!

Rowing involves boats being propelled over the water using oars. The rowers sit in the boat facing backwards and pull on the oars which lever the boat through the water.

Pulling takes place in dual-purpose, four-man rowing boats that are also used for basic dinghy sailing training. It’s a great way for Cadets to improve their fitness while getting out on the water and enjoying themselves. Unlike canoeing, where Cadets are working individually, manning a four-man rowing boat requires teamwork, particularly when it involves racing and the competitive spirit kicks in!
