  
Dartmouth Gig Club
DART GIG CLUB The club, formed in 1996, participates in pilot gig racing around the south west of England and further field to France, and Holland. A season of racing takes place most weekends from late March to October with the World championships in the Isles of Scilly each spring May bank holiday weekend where teams regularly attend from the USA, Faroes, France, Ireland and the Netherlands.
Our own gig regatta event here on the Dart is Satuday April 5th 2008, where up to 14 visiting boats participate in a 3000m triangle course from The higher ferry, towards the castles, and finishing in line with the Dart Yacht Club.
The club has two gigs, Volante and Lightning, built locally by gig building legends Brian and Andrew Pomeroy.
The club has been very successful in competition, fielding men’s and ladies A B and C crews as well as veterans (over 40s), Super Vets (over 50s), and Mixed Rowing crews
The club is funded by annual subscription.
The gigs are suitable for both experienced rowers and novices and they give people chance to take part in a sport that has changed little in 150 years.
Members row all year round in our GRP training boat weather permitting, and Sundays until days are long enough for evening rowing.
