Something that I have been wondering for a while now, how physically strong do you have to be onboard as a deck cadet?
Obviously deck cadets work on deck with the ABs a lot, doing manual labour and the like. However, I assume a lot of heavy work (such as heaving the mooring lines) is totally mechanically operated these days. I am of an average to slender build and no body builder so this question has popped into my head a number of times.
