We row and race traditional six oared Cornish Pilot gigs, and we are the centre of Gig rowing in this area and our community identity is a key factor in both recruiting and retaining people of all ages in the sport. We have made a significant investment in a Gig Shed, and in boats and equipment to deliver successful, sustainable and long-term participation in Gig rowing. We regularly compete in competitions and regattas throughout the South-West and we row Gigs to enjoy competition and have fun. We currently own two wooden racing boats, Defender and Grace; and three GRP training Gigs; Rashleigh, Spirit & Tribute and a training Skiff. Our home and Boat Shed is on Quay Road in Charlestown and we launch and row throughout the summer season from Charlestown Harbour. Due to the prevailing weather conditions, in winter we row weekends only at Caffa Mill Fowey. Please see our Facebook page for regularly updated details of rowing, training and racing.

  • Explore Cardinham - Hwithrewgh Kardhinan Location Welcome to the Parish of Cardinham Which Nestles on the Southwestern Edge of Bodmin Moor to the North East of Bodmin
    Explore Cardinham - Hwithrewgh Kardhinan Location Welcome to the Parish of Cardinham which nestles on the southwestern edge of Bodmin Moor to the north east of Bodmin. It is one of the largest in Cornwall with a boundary of about 26 miles enclosing 9612 acres of land and 22 acres of water, and has a population approaching 600, mostly concentrated in Cardinham village around St. Meubred’s Church and in the nearby hamlet of Millpool about 1½ miles to the north, as well as scattered in farms, houses and cottages in the Parish. The area boasts several Holy Wells and Monuments, and some fine ancient crosses notably in St Meubred’s churchyard, and at Deviock and Treslea. There is a small airfield at Cardinham which is home to the Cornwall Flying Club. Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks and rides through beautiful countryside on the Moor and in Cardinham, Laneskin, Leball and Cabilla Woods. History Cardinham comes from the Cornish “Car” or “Caer” meaning “enclosure” or “fort,” and “dinas” also a “fortress.” Cardinham Castle was built in 1080 to the motte and bailey design on White Hill southeast of the Church by the Sheriff of Cornwall for the then Earl of Cornwall, Robert de Mortain who was William the Conqueror’s half- brother. Not content with the estates he already owned after the Norman Conquest of 1066 he also seized much of the land in the Parish which had formally belonged to Bodmin Priory. This was very unpopular with the local moorland folk so he built the castle to keep them subdued.

  • The Launching of a 32-Foot Cornish Pilot Gig Rockland, Maine
    THE LAUNCHING OF A 32-FOOT CORNISH PILOT GIG ROCKLAND, MAINE Pilot gigs: a brief history How often do you get invited to attend the launching of a 32-foot rowboat, a Cornish Pilot Gig, to be exact. If you are used to rowing out to your sailboat in an 8' dink (officially known as a dinghy), 32' looks like a typo in that invitation. Fortunately, I had seen large rowing gigs in the annual Blackburn Challenge race around Cape Ann in Gloucester, Massachusetts, with multiple rowers (mostly 6) in them and a coxswain. But a specific "Cornish Pilot Gig"? Thanks to Google I quickly got informed. They were talking about a 32' rowboat used in the county of Cornwall (southwest corner of the British Isles), the Isles of Scilly to be even more exact. They were rowed by six oarsmen, each sitting slightly off center, jerking massive oars through the water, while a coxswain steered the boat out towards big incoming windjammers or freighters in need of a pilot, who was sitting in the very bow of the gig. Bishop Rock Light in the Isles of Scilly has been the landfall for almost all overseas shipping entering the English Channel. That was exactly what we did on the 45' schooner Fiddler's Green from Camden, Maine to St. Malo, France in 1977, and in 2011 on the classic 60' yawl Peter von Seestermühe (formerly known as Peter von Danzig) from the Caribbean island of Antigua to Hamburg, Germany. The entrance is a very tricky, rocky place, further complicated by wicked tidal currents and legendary fog.
