While much of the team at Pioneer Sailing Trust has been busy preparing for the upcoming Ofsted inspection, it was very much business as usual on the water this morning. Work continued on Pioneer CK18, as Simon, Mick, and Teymour got stuck into the important job of transferring her spars back on board after their winter maintenance. Over the colder months, these components are often removed, inspected, and repaired to ensure everything is in top condition for the sailing season ahead. For those wondering, a spar is a general term used in boating to describe the poles that support and control the sails — such as masts, booms, and gaffs. They are essential parts of a sailing vessel, giving the sails their shape and allowing the boat to harness the wind effectively. It’s great to see the team’s dedication in action — balancing preparation onshore with hands-on work afloat, all helping to get CK18 ready for the months ahead. #pioneersailingtrust #historicvessel #pioneerck18 #boatlife #boats

Traversata oceanica Giorno 9 di navigazione L’oceano ci dà il benvenuto in un modo che ancora non avevamo mai visto. Una foschia rossa ci accoglie al nostro ingresso in oceano e da lì non ci lascia più. Il tocco rosso di questa sabbia africana macchia ogni cosa, dal gelcoat alle cime, ai telefoni dimenticati all’aria per qualche minuto. La visibilità è pessima. Infatti non vediamo a mezzo miglio di distanza. Il vento è teso, le onde alte. Quella di oggi sarebbe dovuta essere una partenza in pompa magna, invece è stata molto silenziosa. Camminiamo in punta di piedi ormai da un mese in cerca di una terra che ci sta facendo sudare come non mai. Il mio caro Ulisse, del quale ho letto con passione la trilogia (di Manfredi) lo sa bene. L’emozione di lungo viaggio è solo la punta dell’iceberg e noi, qui, proviamo a comunicarlo ogni giorno. Perciò eccoci qui. Siamo partiti. Davanti a noi 2000 miglia. Siamo pronti. 💪
