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! 😊

Boatbuilder Alan talks us through his expert method, and how best to get those precise measurements with such a curve! 📐😁
