April Update

Spring and the new rowing season is officially here!

We’ve recently swapped the gigs over at Rock, with the newly repainted

Unity coming out for rows on the estuary so we can prepare Roscarrock

for shipping to the Scillies for the World Gig Championships next month.

It’s been a beautiful start to the season, with early morning rows from

Rock treating us to some incredible sunrises. Corsair is now back in Port

Isaac. A crew took her out from Port Gaverne and rowed her round to

Port Isaac – our first sea row of the year, and it felt fantastic to be back

out on open water.

The racing season officially kicked off last weekend with the Three

Rivers Race, where we had two crews competing in this challenging

long-distance event - both rowing strong and holding their own right to

the finish. Now, all focus turns to training and fitness as we prepare to

take four crews to the World Gig Championships in the Isles of Scilly.

We’re hoping to build on last year’s success (a podium finish!) and make

it another memorable few days of racing.

We’ve also got some great social and fundraising events coming up and

would love your support, as we raise money for a new gig cover. Join us

for the Josh Curnow Gig at Port Isaac Village Hall on April 11th (doors

open 7pm, tickets £10), available via our website or from Kat at The

Peapod – it’s set to be a brilliant night.

And don’t miss our Easter Sunday Cake Sale on the Platt (2 – 4pm),

where we’ll be serving up delicious homemade cakes, teas, and coffees

until they’re gone – it was hugely popular last year, so come down early

and treat yourself!
