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

Can you spot the Coral Hawkfish? The #CoralHawkfish loves being in or near coral ledges and branches. Here, they can eat fish that are smaller than themselves as well as tiny organisms and crustaceans. Even though they have a calm demeanor, these fish can be quite aggressive, especially when they encounter other fish that are similar in size and appearance. For this reason, you'll probably find coral hawkfish by themselves. I guess other fish might not want to mess with them! Keen to encounter this cute but furious species? Let’s explore the #underwater world in #RajaAmpat. Our experienced dive guides know how to find some exciting and quite weird #marine species just for you.
