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

Whale sharks, despite their name, are not actually whales; they are the world's largest fish. They are filter feeders, meaning they consume tiny marine organisms by sifting water through their mouths, and can process over 6,000 liters of water at a time. Each whale shark has a unique pattern of spots and stripes, similar to human fingerprints, aiding in individual identification. #whaleshark #swimmingwithsharks #Underwater #seatreksailingadventures #ThisIsLiving #NatureLovers,#Wanderlust #BucketList #UnderwaterMagic
