Dartmouth Gigs
 In 1838 the Cornish boatbuilder, W Peters, created a new
design which he considered perfection. The first such gig
was named 'Treffry' and this original gig is still raced
to this day by the Newquay Rowing Club.

All gigs that compete to-day under the Cornish Pilot Gig
Association must conform to the same 'Treffry' specifications.
Dartmouth Gig
Gig racing is a vibrant and inclusive team sport that is the fastest growing rowing activity in the South West. Amongst the rowing world, gig racing is considered the ultimate test in 'fixed-seat' rowing. The regattas are tough, but friendly, competitions and attract many spectators.
