800 Sea Cadets across Kent are one step closer to reaching their dream of an offshore voyage on the new 21st century Sea Cadets flagship, thanks to a £10,000 donation from The Roger De Haan Charitable Trust based in Folkestone, Kent.

The donation goes towards building Sea Cadets a new flagship that will replace the current ship, TS Royalist, now over 40 years old and increasingly expensive to maintain.

TS Royalist launched in 1971 taking over 30,000 cadets to sea in her lifetime.
