Objective of the study was to analyze benefits of a special pre-sailing training model to make sea cadets competent for a sailing practice on a sailboat. The sea cadets skills analysis in practices on a sailing boat and sea-service-specific qualities tests showed that the sea cadets’ competency for the service shall include at least the following elements: mental fitness (volitional qualities and existential values); physical qualities (dominated by anaerobic-lactate and anaerobic-aerobic endurance); dexterity (in practical service skills); statokinetic balancing skills; immunity to sea sickness (tolerance to vessel rolling and pitching); and practical service abilities. The model piloting experiment provided the grounds to list the following necessary pre-sailing training tools and components:
• Overall endurance trainings with application of the indoor training simulators in anaerobic and mixed regimen;
• Statokinetic balance training assisted by training simulators;
• Immunity to sea sickness building trainings with simulators modeling intra- and inter-analyzer and super-sensor conflicts;
• Strength building trainings with versatile grips;
• Active/ team sports;
• Courage cultivation and training tools; and
• Sea obstacle courses for practical training of the sea service skills and abilities.

Keywords: sea cadets, sea-service-specific physical training, sailing practice.
