Heritage Marine Skills Project

With the support of the Heritage Fund and players of the National Lottery, we have been able to run a Maritime Heritage Skills projects here at Circles.  Each term young people get the chance to engage with a different element of the maritime industry, through expert visits and trips out to workplaces.  At the end of each year we will also get the chance to go sailing on an historic boat.

Rigging
We had an expert rigger visit us at Circles to teach us about how sailing boats are rigged.  Her name was Jas and she came from T.S. Rigging in Maldon.  She taught us all about standing and running rigging, as well as introducing us to all the different career opportunities that rigging can lead on to.
