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

We went LIVE from the cockpit and tried 30 different hot sauces on the boat 🌶️😱 Catfish balls, Christmas chaos, and heat levels we did NOT expect. In this Sailing Into Nirvana podcast, we’re anchored at the marina shoreline, cooking fresh catfish we caught last weekend, rolling it into catfish balls, and testing a full 30-pack of hot sauces — from mild to absolutely brutal. Reactions were real. We also talk about our last podcast at the Bad Santa Boathouse snow globes, reflect on Christmas, and wish everyone a Happy Post-Christmas and New Year from the boat. ⚓ Live sailing podcast 🌶️ Hot sauce challenge 🎣 Catfish cooking on board 🎄 Christmas gift gone wrong (or right?) 👉 Drop a comment: Which sauce would you try — or avoid? #SailingIntoNirvana #HotSauceChallenge #BoatPodcast #LiveOnTheBoat #CatfishRecipe #SailingLife #FoodChallenge
