Used Cadet (Int) Sailboats for Sale

The International Cadet, a compact 10.56-foot (3.22m) monohull, stands as a pivotal vessel in the world of youth sailing. Conceived in 1947 by the prolific British boat designer Jack Holt, in collaboration with E.W. Haylock, then president of Yachting World magazine, the Cadet was envisioned as an accessible and inexpensive trainer for young sailors immediately following World War II. Today, it maintains its reputation as a pre-eminent double-handed training class, serving as a foundational step for aspiring competitive sailors worldwide. While originally initiated as the Yachting World Cadet, it quickly evolved into an international one-design class, built by numerous yards over its long history, including Rondar Raceboats, renowned for their precision construction of high-performance one-design sailing craft.
