Our NLCC Lightning drill paddles have arrived!

While our Sea Cadets use decommissioned ri**es for r***e drill, it is standard practice for younger Navy League Cadets to use paddles.

These beautiful custom paddles with our Corps Crest and detailed rope work in our Corps colours were each done by hand by CDR (NL) Michael Pigeon at Shipmate's Yard & Chandlery in Simcoe, ON. and we absolutely love them!
