In a world where expectations begin early — echoed by parents and relatives alike, you’re told to grow up and do something remarkable. So I followed the advice. Joined the Indian Navy. Sailed on warships of various sizes. Rose to a Captains Rank. Was awarded the Nau Sena Medal. Married at the “right” age to a wonderful partner my parents adore. We have an amazing 15-year-old. And yet… something always sat heavy on my mind. I wanted more from life. So I quit a steady government job. Sold everything. And bought a sailboat. Maybe not in the way they imagined. But hey — they’re definitely talking about me now. 🌊⛵

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
