The three ships in the Sea Cadet fleet are as follows: TS Jack Petchey is the youngest (2010), the oldest is TS Royalist (1973), the third is TS John Jerwood (2003). Whilst on all of these ships the upkeep is the same, since TS Jack Petchey and TS John Jerwood resemble each other, the voyage upkeep, and payment is the similar. The TS Royalist is a sailing vessel and the activities on board include more manual work for example, setting the sails.
