Pilot gig club
A pilot gig club is a sports club specifically related to rowing, sailing or racing Cornish pilot gigs.
Description[edit]
Pilot gig clubs are mostly located by the sea although there some that have been established at riverside locations. Pilot gig clubs might also have other types of rowing and sailing vessels. The majority of clubs are in the Westcountry, however clubs exist in Sussex, Somerset, Devon, Dorset, Wales and London. Internationally, there are pilot gig clubs in France, the Netherlands, the Faroe Islands, Australia, Bermuda, and the United States.[1]
Many pilot gig clubs compete with each other through a series of events through the summer in the Westcountry[2], most notably at World Pilot Gig Championships.
78 pilot gig clubs are members of the Cornish Pilot Gig Association[3].
