What is gig rowing?

Gig rowing is a traditional coastal sport where six rowers and a coxswain work together in a 32-foot wooden boat. Originally used to carry pilots out to approaching ships, these boats were built for speed and strength.

​

Today, gig rowing is enjoyed for recreation and competitive racing. It's a great way to get active, develop rowing skills and explore the Sussex coast.
