Faith, our new gig, taking part in her first Isles of Scilly World Championships (May 2008).

Racing traditional, six-oared, Cornish pilot gigs on the open sea is an exhilarating experience and has become one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. There are numerous clubs in the West Country as well as Australia, Holland and the USA.

Devoran Pilot Gig Club is based at Restronguet Creek, off Carrick Roads near Falmouth. It was formed in 1988 and has a membership of around 50.

We have three gigs, Faith, Falcon and Fear Not, and our crews compete regularly throughout the intensive racing season organised by the Cornish Pilot Gig Association as well as in local "friendlies".
