Coverack Regatta :: Results, Report

Coverack Regatta :: Results, Report

Coverack Gig Club once again hosted a brilliant event with some good racing. With a stiff offshore (refreshing) breeze, the Men’s B crews took to the water with an experienced Falmouth crew taking victory. The Ladies B crews saw some tough racing up the first leg between Mount’s Bay B & C and Flushing & Mylor Crews. Flushing & Mylor got clear water going into the mark and rowed superbly to take victory. The Under 14’s set out for their short sprint in against a tough wind. Cadgwith took victory here as well as the Under 16’s.

It was then the A crew’s turn to take to the water with Mount’s Bay taking victory in both Men’s & Womens. The racing flowed well, once again, well done Coverack for a superb event. The cake stall was top notch ;) .

Results :: Provisional Mevagissey Tribute

A beautiful day by the water, ably hosted by Mevagissey Gig Club saw round 2 of the 2010 Tribute Series. An oily calm sea in the morning was eventually stirred by a much needed light onshore breeze. Hot stuff on the water with Caradon, Devoran and Falmouth cleaning up.

Caradon Mixed Championships :: Report, Results, Pics

Caradon Mixed Championships :: Report, Results, Pics

As usual Caradon Gig Club delivered a fantastic well organized days racing at the annual Mixed Championships. The venue, Saltash on the bank of the River Tamar made from some interesting racing as crews flew down the first leg to the first mark with the flooding tide. With the turns all within 1 mintue of each other, crews didn’t really have much scope for overtakes around them and just followed around single file, with a few exceptions ;) .

The first round start on time with the juniors semi-finals and the mixed quarter finals all done by 11.30am. With a quick break, the plate semi’s got under way and then the mixed semi’s. Followed by a 45 min lunch break, the three finals started with Coverack taking victory in the Junior Mixed.

Mixed Results at a glance:

  1. Caradon A
  2. Caradon B
  3. Falmouth A
  4. Falmouth B
  5. Mount’s Bay A
  6. Roseland A

Another top day of racing, thank you Caradon. The cake stall was also exquisite!

Good luck to all the crews competing in tomorrows Veterans Championships.

A Great Weekend :: Thank you for your support

A Great Weekend :: Thank you for your support

Weather conditions could not have been better for this weekends event in Falmouth.

The event kicked off at 1030 with the start of the Tribute event, all races went off well in a moderate offshore wind.  This was the first race since the new CPGA rules have been introduced. Results to follow when we get them in the meantime photo of the results board below.

The decision was made to start the juniors in one start which caused a disadvantage to the teams furthest away from the beach.  In hindsight the race should have been started in two heats and the organizers apologise for any crews this affected.

The first GigRower Championships then took place with a series of straight sprint races down the shore line back to the  beach. The aim of these sprints was to try a new format of racing using a a series of heats to give all crews that enter at least 2 chances to makes the final.  The racing went well and saw a tight final in both the mens and ladies with Falmouth winning the ladies and Caradon the mens.

We would like to thank all clubs that attended for their support, particularly those who stayed for the sprint races.

Thanks to Jowan for these pics.

Mount's Bay Regatta :: Report, Results, Pics

Mount’s Bay Regatta :: Report, Results, Pics

Mount's Bay Men's B & C battle to the mark.

The rescheduled Mount’s Bay Regatta took place on Saturday 5th of June. With the weather threatening to rain just before the coxswain’s meeting, it held off and the Men’s A started the days proceedings.

Truro Ladies do their Stretches...

With a short first leg (4:42) the first turn was a sharp course change. Mount’s Bay Men’s A turned first with the bow rower tossing, follwed by Melusine (Zennor). Taking 3 lengths on the first mark, Mount’s Bay stretched their lead as they crossed the line. The Men’s B took to the water for the second race with a shock battle for first place between Monut’s Bay Men’s B & C crew. The C crew made up of older veterans, developing juniors, and several retired rowers (6 years was the last time in the boat) the C crew had mighty start and took the lead, but as the crews approached the first mark the B’s just managed to reel in enough of a lead to get the water.

The Under 16’s then had their race from the second mark to the finish line. A short sprint saw Lark (Coverack) take first place after a hard fought battle with St. Elvan (Porthleven).

The Ladies A race had a brilliant battle between Kensa (Mount’s Bay) & Brisons (Cape Cornwall), Brisons made up of three Cape rowers, one Mount’s Bay rower & two Falmouth rowers pushed Mount’s Bay all the way to the line. The Ladies B again saw a tight race between Kensa and Azook (Hayle), also made up of two Falmouth rowers.

The Under 14’s had a straight sprint along the side of the iconic St Michael’s Mount with Lark taking a well deserved victory. The Veterans race saw Melusine (Zennor) take the Men’s title and Kensa take the Ladies. The mixed was a hard fought battle between two Mount’s Bay crews with Zennor in third.

Truro :: Report & Results

Truro :: Report & Results

Regatta 30th May 2010 Turnaware Point, Roseland

The weekend dawned with many expectant glances at the weather forecasts, especially after two other events were casualties of the weather. The forecast improved and the event went ahead, despite rain forecast late. This was the first time the club had run a Regatta style event instead of a pursuit race from Truro to Mylor.

The clubs gathered, with many local clubs rowing over and the coxes meeting went as scheduled. The course was the traditional kite shaped with the start off Pill Creek with the finish off the beach. This was designed to allow the spectators to be able view as much of the race as possible.

The weather remained overcast all day and some excellent racing was had, with a full programme of races. The results are tabulated below:

C – Denotes declared composite crews

Overall winners were Roseland.

The weather held and a fine days racing was had, in what turned out to be a small local Regatta all taken in a good spirit.

The Club wishes to thank the National Trust and Mr Symonds for allowing us to use the venue. Sponsors included Carrick Leisure, Ferris Garage, Truro Glass and Sarah Wyld (Handmade celebration cakes).

Good Friday River Race :: Results, Report, Pics

Good Friday River Race :: Results, Report, Pics

In a stiff Northerly wind, the re-scheduled Good Friday River Race from Mylor to Truro saw a variety of oar powered craft take part. Gigs, surf boats, skiffs, flashboats, Canadian canoe’s, kayaks, sliding seat boats and punts. Smaller craft started first in the devised handicap system and gigs started last. Through the race the gigs eventually overtook other craft on the battle up the river. The wind eased as the river narrowed, taking us past the King Harry Ferry, the laid up ships and Smugglers Cottage.

As the race came into it’s final stages, weaving around the river past Malpas and Truro Cathedral came into sight the River got shallow further up river making for some strong drag for crews as they battled their way up to Truro. With some boats finishing in 52mins and some in 1 hour and 30mins, the field was quite spread out along the river.

Results at a glance:

  1. Blue Betty :: Men’s Surf boat
  2. Skiff 36 :: Mixed Oar Match
  3. Billy :: Ladies Coastal four
  4. Fury :: Ladies Gig

Looe School Rowing Club @ The National Indoor Championships

Looe School Rowing Club @ The National Indoor Championships

The 16th March saw over 3,000 young rowers compete in the 2010 junior indoor rowing championships, organised by London Youth Rowing which was  held at Battersea evolution centre. 12 Pupils aged 12-15 from Looe community school made the trip up to London from Cornwall to represent their school rowing club.

The indoor rowing club is in its second year at Looe school, run by members of Looe rowing club with the help of British rowing coach Rhiannon Halliday.

The trip was made possible through funding from Cornwall sports partnership, Callington school sports partnership and Edwina Hannaford (Local councillor). Looe school provided the transport for the trip and PE teachers supported the rowers at the event. The indoor club has been a brilliant way of recruiting new rowers, as well as introducing the concept of fitness training to Looes existing juniors.

The school rowing club have achieved several good results in local, county and regional competitions in the build up to the national event. Several of the students had attended in 2009 and were adamant to beat their previous years placing.

Results as follows:

Year 8 girls – row for 3 mins (184 competitors)
Elysia Gregory 45th -  692m. Lauren fisher 52nd -  688m.
