CADGWITH PILOT GIG CLUB
Gig Racing Club.
a small community club!!! All of Cadgwith's gig's are painted with a light blue topside, a white bottom, with a thin dark blue top strake and a red rubbing strake.

The first of Cadgwith's gigs is the "Buller". "Buller" was built by the Devoran Shipwright. Ralph Bird In 1986.

The second gig "Socoa" was built in 1990 by John Moore of Mevagissey. "Socoa" was built as a sailing ship and was named after a French sailing ship that got stranded off the Cadgwith coast in 1907.

The third Cadgwith gig is dedicated in memory of Tony Culmer and Peter Williams, two local Cadgwith fishermen whose fishing boat, the "Karen Mane" sank off Cadgwith Cove in 1994. The "Rose of Cadgwith" was built In 1994 and is currently the main racing gig of Cadgwith. Cadgwith commemorate the lives of Peter and Tony by holding races between the Cadgwith crews, the Peter and Tony races.
