Helford Gig Club organised one of the first events of the 2015 season last weekend and some good racing was had by all. As a rower it’s great to take part in an event where you get to race more than once and as Helford put on a mini version of the World Championships, there are Vets races as well as a long distance open one and shorter sprint finals.
Falmouth came out on top in both the Men’s Vets and Open. Whilst Newquay won the Ladies Vets and Open races. In the latter, Roseland finished first but they and Flushing & Mylor ladies were disqualified for being over the line at the start.
The full results can be seen in the results board below. Further down we have typed up and sorted the final races for the open events and these can also be downloaded here.
