Isle of Dogs Sea Cadet Unit ran two Solent sailing weekends in early June 2026, both funded by the Ulysses Trust and crewed aboard Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust yachts — Solent Hero and her sister ship Kaluki, moored at East Cowes Marina on the Isle of Wight.0:06 Day one of the first weekend was blown out at 30–40 knots; cadets spent the time on shore theory, RIB manoeuvres, and a reconnaissance run around Cowes past the Royal Yacht Squadron, Trinity Landing, and the Island Sailing Club.0:11 When conditions eased, the group sailed across the Solent and up Southampton Water to Marksford, practising VHF radio calls to the Coastguard and running man-overboard drills under sail using the quick-stop method.3:06 The second weekend took Kaluki west through the Solent toward the Needles in 10–15 knots, passing a temporary wreck marked by vertically striped yellow-and-blue buoys.7:57 Fog closed to one boat-length near the Needles fairway buoy; the crew continued past the South West Shingle sandbank, then sailed back toward Hurst Castle flying the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust spinnaker.9:54 The trip ended with an anchorage at Osborne Bay.11:24 Paul notes that each Isle of Dogs charter funds one Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust place for a young person with cancer.8:53
