Welcome!
We are a traiditional 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.

MEMBERSHIPS!
It is time to join the Gig Club for this coming rowing season. When you join, you will be sent a password to give you access to the Members' Only section of the website.
HAPPY HORSES!
Our first race night was a fantastic success with everyone having a great time. We are doing the sums to see how much we raised - but it is looking good. Thanks to all who came along!
The Scilly Season
Our men's and women's competitive crews are training for the World Championships in the Scilly Isles in May. To see the full set of Scillies Squad photos, please go to the Member's page.
Thanks to Dave Keightley for the photo shoot!
