At Dart Gig Club, our mission is to champion the sport of Cornish pilot gig rowing while strengthening the bonds of our local community. We believe in the power of the river to bring people together—from seasoned racers to complete beginners—by offering opportunities to row, learn, and grow in a supportive and inclusive environment.

We are committed to preserving the heritage of gig rowing, maintaining high standards of seamanship, and fostering a culture of teamwork, respect, and shared achievement. Through our race training, social sessions, junior development programme and community outreach, we aim to provide something for everyone—whether you want to compete, connect, or contribute.

Above all, our mission is to keep the tradition of gig rowing alive and thriving in Dartmouth, ensuring that our club remains a proud and positive force for generations to come.
