Tenby Unit entered the South West Area Rowing and Boat Handling Competition in Bristol on Saturday as a result of winning two Rowing Team categories at the earlier West Wales District competition: Junior Sea Cadet (9 to 12 years old) and Open Boys (12 to18 years old).

After beating off fierce competition from 8 other Districts, Tenby Junior Sea Cadets were announced as the Winners of the category, winning every single race. The Open Boys Team were pipped in the final race ran and ended up in a good 4th place. Amazing results for the first Area Regatta since 2019 and for Tenby Unit, the best it has seen in decades!

Lieutenant (SCC) William Elliott RNR comments: “I am extremely pleased with the success of the competition; especially as Team Tenby showed their rowing abilities on the water off, alongside promoting better teamwork and determination too. With many thanks to all the amazing Adult Volunteers who give up their time to ensure that training (and extra training) was made available to ensure the success of our teams. It was fantastic to see Tenby Sea Cadets being put on the map!”
