Our Club
The RMA Gig Club is a specialist branch of the RMA-TRMC and its objectives are to promote, teach, and facilitate the sport of Cornish Pilot Gig Rowing, both competitively and recreationally.
Cornish Pilot Gig Rowing
The Cornish pilot gig is a six-oared, 32 feet long rowing boat, clinker-built of Cornish narrow-leaf elm. It is recognised as one of the first shore-based lifeboats that went to vessels in distress, with recorded rescues going back as far as the late 17th century.
“We are a friendly, all inclusive rowing club founded on esprit de corps, camaraderie and a love of our great sport. We welcome experienced rowers and novices to our club. If you want to race competitively or just row socially, we would love to hear from you!”
