SEA Cadets from Huddersfield honed their boating skills on the River Calder in Wakefield.

Over the weekend they were trained in retrieving a man overboard, anchoring, emergency procedures and mooring.

The four cadets working towards Coxswain Certificates learned to manoeuvre their craft effectively in adverse conditions.

The cadets ended the first day with 400-metre rowing races.
