Last week we welcomed our new Apprentices to the trust with a sail on Pioneer! It was a great day and offered them all the opportunity to get to know each other and participate in some unique and exciting team building on board our historic vessel! 😊

Today on World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that the sea teaches us one of life’s most important lessons — it’s okay to ride the waves.

At The Pioneer Sailing Trust, we believe in the power of teamwork, time on the water, and open conversations to help weather life’s challenges.

Due to a cancellation, we have one more space available on board Pioneer CK18 this Saturday for this year’s Colne Smack and Barge race! It’s an early start, but if you don’t mind that, please give me an email at bookings.pioneer@gmail.com for pricing and more information about the event!

A couple of weeks ago, we swapped the yard for the waves and took our two apprentices out for some high-speed powerboat training aboard our Humber Destroyer RIB. 🛥️💨

As we cruised out towards Clacton, we stumbled right into the start of the legendary Clacton Airshow!

There are loads of exciting paths into an apprenticeship, and who knows — this could be the start of your own adventure in marine engineering!

A big shoutout to @National Lottery Heritage Fund and all their players for helping make our Heritage Engineering Technician Apprenticeship possible 🙌
