Fowey Regatta :: Report, Results & Pics

Yesterday Fowey Gig Club hosted their annual Gig Race as part of Fowey Week.

Conditions for the crews and coxes were certainly testing, as well as a very wet Cornish drizzle for the first races a strengthening flood tide made for tactical rowing as the powerful current made a massive difference when picking a racing line over the 2 mile course.  Conditions inside the river were flat but as crews left the shelter they encountered rough chop from a fresh breeze blowing across the bay as they turned the two race marks and returned back up the river for the finish.
