At a boatyard, a group of enthusiastic apprentices are hard at work, restoring two traditional vessels.
Aged between 16 and 31, they are learning skills at risk of being lost.
With boatbuilding recently included on a list of endangered crafts, could these young people help save it?
The Pioneer Sailing Trust, overlooking the River Colne in Brightlingsea, Essex, is the UK’s only place offering apprenticeships in heritage boat restorations.
Its trainees are as passionate about saving the craft as they are about the National Lottery-funded projects they are undertaking.
