Porthleven Gig Club welcomes all those with an interest in rowing the traditional Cornish Pilot Gig.

  "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

 Our Gig Day on the 16th August had to be cancelled, but there is a possibility that it will be rearranged before the end of the season.

But despite this disappointment, on the following day, Sunday 17th August, the Club really let its hair down taking part in the Porthleven  R.N.L.I. Day

 We welcome photographs from all Clubs and Giggers to our new photographic feature, "Pictures of the Month", conveying to the layman what gig racing is all about.
