Kyle Jachney (Bluewater Yachts) and I talk about how some classic fiberglass sailboats were built with far more material than necessary, resulting in exceptionally heavy designs. They were incredibly strong, but all that extra weight had a major impact on how they sailed. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com

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
