Report
This year Roseland Gig Club hosted their event at Portscatho in ideal racing conditions with light offshore winds and flat seas. 15 boats lined up on the start line off the beach and raced around 1.5 mile triangle course before finishing back off the beach. A few bumps at the turn marks resulted in some disqualifications but overall the racing ran well and the afternoon of racing ran to schedule.

I know championship darts were on this weekend but did not know the term bulls eye were in the rules of the CPGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That —— cox of Richard Lander has not only wiped me out but my ropes have gone misssing as well !!!!!!!
Verdict Big D/Q on this evidence for both crew’s. ie Cox R/L number 5 oar infringement and the cox P/S not holding on to his ropes.
To all crew the best of luck at Newquay and have some fun. the M&M’s must be coming my way yippee!!
Great photograph Toby of the incident.
MIND YOUR VESSEL!!!
Yep, your fender looks fine to me.
I think as he was preventing certain damage to his boat, the Padstow cox is well within his rights to let go of his ropes.
Richard Lander should have been and was disqualified.
Padstow cox suprised when Richard Lander pokes one in!
I’m just trying to work out where the stroke rowers handle is ?
“No, you’ve only got soft pins up here, its the hard one No. 5 broke, thanks for letting me have a look though”
Richard Lander Cox “Ramming speed men, if we can’t around them we will go through them !!!!”
Any excuse to mount my strokeman!
no parking on the yellow line :S
Looks like I have to accept the inevitable that the M&M’s are going to Sam for that great caption!
No problen Adam and well done to the umpires.
Toby please make sure you keep up your side of the bargain and make the grand presentation to the winner at Newquay this weekend!!
Nine replies WOWWEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’ll fend them off, whilst you pole-vault us to the finish.”
Who do you think I am, Superman???
“I’m ready to jump across when you give the command!”
just 2 pints today thanks!
