What we’re thinking…
Stirling and Son is inviting applications for two apprenticeships to start in September, one on boatbuilding and one on painting and varnishing.
The apprenticeships will be for four years, working in the yard four days per week and at college one day per week.
Anyone interested should send a CV and covering letter to info@stirlingandson.co.uk before the closing date of 6 May.
I gather they're about to start work on a big new project and would also be glad to hear from someone experienced. For more information see the website: Stirling and Son.

interesting … the Sailing Barge Defianace looks like a new build – researching on google – she seems to have been built in 2011 ? hard to tell from the pics – but she looks to be ‘full size’ about 80′ ?
I thought she looked a little smaller than 80ft, but I might easily have been wrong. Good looking boat though…
But see: http://www.angliaafloat.co.uk/heritage/historic-boats/demise_of_the_barge_1_876685
