Our apprentices at The Pioneer Sailing Trust work on commercial projects, building Harker's Yard rowing gigs. The first 19 gigs were built from a cold-moulded construction, using three layers of mahogany. These wooden coastal rowing gigs are based on an East Coast design, specifically adapted for racing. They are slightly shorter (24ft) than traditional Cornish gigs and are rowed by a crew of four, plus a coxswain. These gigs are a key part of the coastal rowing scene in the East of England, with the Harker's Yard Gig Association (HYGA) organising a popular winter racing series. The current gigs are a composite version of the East Coast gig with the same specification, but instead of cold-mouldered, the hull is made from fibreglass with a wooden fitout and built-in buoyancy. With thanks to the The National Lottery Heritage Fund and the National Lottery players for help in supporting our projects! #thepioneersailingtrust #HarkersYard #Pioneer #Rowing #HarkersYardGigAssociation #HeritageFundUK

🚤✨ The calm beauty of boating life — a small sailboat gently sliding into the water as friends guide it down the ramp. Anchored boats sway in the background, setting the perfect riverside scene. 🌊⛵ #SailingLife #BoatLaunch #LoveSailing #OceanDreams #AdventureAwaits #SailboatLife #WaterfrontVibes #SailingAdventure #MaritimeMagic #SeaEscape

We came across more than a few different outboard models manufactured by companies you've likely never heard of before this year during the Miami International Boat Show. Mercury Marine, Evinrude, Yamaha, Honda, and Suzuki are all names we've heard of, but Evendoo? What the heck is an Evendoo outboard? Watch the video as contributor Gary Reich takes a first look at one of these outboards. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/05/evendoo-outboards-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit http://www.boats.com/ Boats.com features boat reviews, how-to videos, special features, and information about new boats, boats for sale, and boating products—usually with a dash of fun. Our reviewers test the features, performance, and specifications of each boat, searching out the hidden details for a critical evaluation. If you're shopping for a boat, we want to help you make the best choice. And if you're just looking, we'll try to make it fun too. Subscribe to receive notification of new videos.
