CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

 

After a long break from rowing due to the Pandemic, we are now returning to the water in a cautious way.

 

In a covid-secure fashion, and following CPGA guidance, we have bubbles of rowers out on the water from April 17th 2021.


Stay safe.

 

 

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. We also have a very active recreational squad.
