Cadgwith Pilot Gig Rowing -
A gig, or pilot gig, is a 32 feet long clinker-built rowing boat with six rowers and a cox. In the early 19th century gigs were used to take pilots out to sailing ships as they approached the Isles of Scilly or coast of Cornwall. The first pilot aboard the ship got the job, so the gigs evolved into very fast seagoing rowing boats.

There are many gig clubs around Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Devon and there are even some overseas.
