The Cadet is a junior trainer sailing dinghy designed by Jack Holt, who was commissioned to design it by the magazine Yachting World. The boat is crewed by 2 young people and sails with a bermuda rigged mainsail, jib and spinnaker. The side decks are designed so that a capsize normally does not fill the hull with water.

The Cadet is sailed internationally in through out Europe, Asia, Australia and South America. Originally made of wood, they are now constructed of fiberglass. The current strongest fleets are situated in the UK and Argentina, with boats from one of these countries winning the World Championships in the last few years. The current UK National Champions are Katrina and Christopher Brewer, from Parkstone Yacht Club.

The 2007 World Championships were held in Pwllheli, North Wales, with Francisco Consentino and Sancho Castro (Argentina) becoming World champions for the second year running. The 2008 World Championships will be held in the Netherlands.

The cadet is 3.2 meters long and weighs 54 kilograms. The sail area is 4.55 to 4.65 square meters. So far 9645 Cadets have been built worldwide.
