Some might say that if a nautical cadet corps can’t make it in Torpoint, then they can’t make it anywhere.

But Torpoint Sea Cadets have exceeded all expectations, due to an amazingly industrious team of instructors allied to a fabulously solid corps of cadets. For these young people, it isn’t a pastime, but more a second family.

Last week saw the rank and file take to the bathroom, spruce up, comb their hair and polish their shoes, because this was their night to shine.
