Welcombe to IPGC website

Ilfracombe Pilot Gig Club was formed in Autumn 2007. We are based at Ilfracombe Yacht Club.  The club has 3 boats, two GPR boats called Lantern and Capstone which are used for training and our traditional wooden gig Rapparee which was delivered during the summer of 2008.

During the summer we train Monday to Thursday and on Sundays. In the winter training takes place at the weekends. The club has a mix of rowers that has allowed us to enter Youth, Mens, Ladies, Vets and Super Vets teams in a number of regattas this year.  As well as the competitive rowers there are a number of members who social row during the week and weekends. The aim of the club is to appeal to all ability and ages.

The club would like to thank the many organisations and businesses as well as personal donors who have enabled the club to get where we are.   We are looking to have a page dedicated to those who have sponsored us shortly.

The Club is a member of the CPGA.
