ABOUT THE TRIP

  • A rowing team with six members practicing on a boat named 'TREGARTHENS' on calm water, with two larger boats and passengers in the background under an overcast sky.

    This trip runs directly from St Martins to the race where we watch the gigs competing with one another.

    We follow the race close by allowing you to experience the thrill of the race as they head for the finish line.

    Once the race is complete we head back to St Martins for you to enjoy the remainder of your evening.
