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

“Well, a couta boat, it’s got what you call a transom. It’s square at the back, you know? And its stern is shaped like a wine glass. They call it a wine glass stern, but a double-ender is virtually the same shape on the bow as what it is at the stern. A double-ender boat is built for net fishing."

🇧🇷 Me perguntam : Por que vim? Esse lugar é diferente do que imaginei, os problemas são outros, os prazeres também. Parti porque ficar não era o único caminho, parti porque o destino futuro dava sentido ao presente, parti porque foi possível, parti por isso e aquilo e por outros motivos que não sei dizer. Parti quando o barco ficou pronto o bastante e quando chegou a hora. Por que teria ficado? 🇫🇷 Ils me demandent : « Pourquoi suis-je venue ? » Cet endroit est différent de ce que j’avais imaginé, les problèmes sont différents et les plaisirs aussi. Je suis partie parce que rester n’était pas la seule solution, je suis partie parce que la destination future donnait un sens au présent, je suis partie parce que c’était possible, je suis partie pour ceci et cela et pour d’autres raisons que je ne peux pas expliquer. Je suis partie quand le bateau était suffisamment prêt et quand le moment est venu. Pourquoi serais-je restée ? 🇺🇸 They ask me: Why did I come? This place is different from what I imagined, the problems are different and so are the pleasures. I left because staying wasn’t the only way, I left because the future destination gave meaning to the present, I left because it was possible, I left for this and that and for other reasons I can’t tell you. I left when the boat was ready enough and when the time came. Why would I have stayed?
