 SEA CADET AWARDS

The Seamanship Award is presented each year to the cadet who has displayed the most proficiency across all segments of the seamanship category.  The cadet most likely to be awarded this trophy will have participated on the competition team and may even have been the team captain.

Seamanship is the largest segment of Navy League training and is therefore one of the highest honours a cadet can hope to receive.
