Welcome!
We are a traditional pilot gig rowing club based in Ilfracombe Harbour.
Formed in 2007, we are a very active club with nearly 100 members and four boats. Lantern and Capstone are our fibre glass training boats and we have two wooden boats, replicas of the pilot boats and lifeboats used on our coast 200 years ago, Rapparee and Rogue.
We can regularly be seen training from Ilfracombe Harbour or setting off on recreational rows along our beautiful coastline. We have three competitive squads - men's, women's and juniors' - and travel throughout the South West competing against other gig clubs.

HAPPY HORSES!
Our first race night was a fantastic success with everyone having a great time. And we raised very nearly £500!!

The Scilly Season
We have just come home from a great World Champrionships in the Scillies! Our Supervets and Men's Squads did particularly well and all our squads did us proud. Photos are now available here.
