Thanks you to all the clubs who brought a crew this year and all the supporters who came along to ceaselessly cheer all day. Congratulations to this year's champions, St Mary's A crew and to the runners up, Swanage, Mounts Bay A and Helford. Racing this year was tough with multiple heats ending up with photo finishes. It's a real joy to see the competitive spirit and sportsmanship from these young rowers. Thank you to our extremely generous sponsors Toms Holidays and Eagle Pant 🦅 and to the CPGA who made it possible for us to put on such a excellent event. With the addition of craft stalls our event is growing and we have been thrilled by the positive feedback from everyone.

The World Pilot Gig Championship went by in a whir The World Pilot Gig Championship went by in a whirlwind! Fierce racing and even fiercer conditions to contend with. This year, we took both of our beautiful wooden gig boats, Azook and Arveth. Allowing us to take eight full crews with our friends from the Avon Corinthians, representing us in two categories. Overall, an exceptional performance from all crews and an absolutely brilliant event for the club. Huge thanks to our club Captain for the brilliant highlights reel, as always.

It's with sadness that we learned of one of our li It's with sadness that we learned of one of our life members passing this week. Local business man Mr John Daniels was a major contributor to our club in helping buy in 1993 one of our racing Gigs, Isis (named for the last lifeboat of Hayle). Although Isis was sold in 2014 her legacy has lived on with Langstone Cutters and Newhaven gig clubs. Our thoughts go out to his family at this time.
