Welcome to the Truro River Rowing Club Website!
| The website is BACK. As you can see it is not complete at the minute but will be worked upon over the next couple of weeks |
This website will introduce you to our club and give you loads
of information on the sport of gig rowing.
Truro Gig Club aims to bring the sport of gig rowing to as many people as possible and has members from a wide variety of backgrounds with an age range of 12 to 60. We have crews that participate in all racing categories throughout the gig season.
The club is based out of Loe Beach, Feock where there is a great deal of Watersport Activity within the Carrick Roads, River Fal and Truro River Areas. Due to this location we are able to, and do train all year round. Location
Truro has been associated with Gig Rowing since the 19th Century. In 1836 J.Edwards and Co Agricultural merchants of Truro commissioned the gig CIRCE to be built by William Peters of St Mawes. This was one of several professionally raced gigs of the time and one of Truro's present 2 gigs is named after her.
Although the exact date of when the original Truro River Rowing Club was founded is not known, early regatta programs dating back to the 30's mention truro competing in races. During the 30's to the 50's Truro rowed mainly skiffs with the occasional visit to Newquay to row gigs by invitation.
