Royal Navy sailors get first taste of life at sea at Jupiter Point
During their basic training at HMS Raleigh, Royal Navy recruits are given their first taste of life on the water – but it is not at sea.
Well into their time at Torpoint, the recruits begin to experience the highs and lows of life on the waves on the River Lynher in Cornwall.
Kayaks, ribs and becoming swimmer of the watch drills are all a part of the experience, with Forces News joining the young sailors at Jupiter Point, the gateway to the sea for sailors, to find out more.
