As a Navy Cadet you will have the opportunity to jump on board some of the most iconic tall ships in Australia. This includes:
- Young Endeavour (national)
- South Passage (QLD)
- One and All (SA)
- Windeward Bound (TAS)
- Leeuwin (WA)
- James Craig (NSW)
- Enterprize (VIC)
A voyage aboard the Navy-crewed Sail Training Ship Young Endeavour is an awesome experience and one which will give you skills for life. You will sail a square-rigged vessel, including learning how to navigate, keep watches, take the helm, cook in the galley, tie knots, work aloft and even take command.
The tall ship environment provides a unique and powerful opportunity to enjoy the very best outdoor experience on the high seas!
Cadets are taken out of their comfort zones and provided with the tools to overcome exciting challenges.
The nature of the program encourages all Cadets to rapidly develop interpersonal, leadership and teamwork skills, which are transferable to everyday life and career settings.
Tall Ship sailing is also designed to elicit an appreciation of the strength diversity brings and instil a desire to contribute back to the community, increasing both individual and social capital. It doesn’t get any better than this!
