This photograph shows the Cornish Gig, Tiger on the day she was placed in the water at Gravesend. This is the style of boat you will be rowing in the future London to London via Paris Rowing Challenges from here on in.
Photo taken by Richard Bain.
Richard is our Safety Officer and was with us on this years London to Paris Challenge, 2010 as the pilot of the Committee Boat called Sea Echo. He saw the cutters first hand and now reports that the Gig is SO much more stable than them in the water. He has a lot more confidence that these are the right boats to use in our events.
Watch this blog for more photos of Tiger in action. This years crew from team Reivers are coming to Gravesend on Sunday for a trial row. They will report through me what their impressions are.
Some people have already replied to me about the meeting to be held in March 2011. Please keep the replies coming in so that we know who will be coming along. If you just turn up, that will be fine, but there will only be enough food for those that let me know their intentions. Also, we can't say if you will actually get in if we have too many people turning up on the day. We are limited to 60 people - so, first come, first served. Be sure to get your replies in asap.
