How To Get into Gig Rowing:

The RTRC has 2 GRP training Gigs and 3 wooden Cornish Pilot Gigs that are mainly used for CPGA racing events. Whether you want to get into the RTRC Gig Racing crews to participate in Regatta’s or even the Gig World Championships, or just want to do some more social Gig rowing this is how you do it.

• Gig Rowing in the RTRC is organised by the Gig Section, who 2/3 times a year select Gig crews depending on individuals interests and aims ie social rowing or more competitive etc. Due to only having 2/3 Gigs to row regularly these crews are then allocated slots with a Gig and cox.
• During the Autumn we also create Gig development crews to get new Gig rowers involved.
• To participate in Gig development crews or regular crews you need to be a full RTRC Member, you can join here
• As a general club member you can have 3 Gig development rows before paying the additional £40 required to be a full Gig rower.
• To register your interest in joining a development crew or regular crew you need to email info@RTRC.co.uk expressing your interest.
• The next wave of Gig crews will be selected in the Autumn so in the meantime continue to row on novice night! But Register Your Interest Now so if slots become available we will be able to offer them to you!
