David Little, UK Cadet Class committee member, said "We are delighted to be partnering with youcantalk.net for this event. We have seen the benefits that sailing brings to young people - independence, responsibility, competition, and resilience. Youcantalk.net provides a fantastic layer of mental health and wellbeing provision that complements this superbly, giving people a way to understand themselves better."

From beginner to aspiring Olympian, the Cadet is the world's most successful two-person race training dinghy, specifically tailored towards children and young people. Originally designed by legendary British designer Jack Holt in 1947, there are now more than 10,000 Cadets sailed in over 40 countries. Cadet sailors have represented the UK at the Olympics and America's Cup, and achieve success worldwide.
