The quality of craftsmanship that goes into the construction of our wooden gigs and oars comes at a cost in terms of time and money. A new gig can take months to build and cost almost £25,000 while a set of oars is nearly £3,000. There is also the cost of trailers, lifejackets, thole pins, VHF radios and assorted paraphernalia. Add to this the yearly maintenance that must be carried out to ensure the gigs will be an asset that can be enjoyed by generations to come and funds are always needed.
The club is therefore proud to have received support and sponsorship from a number of individuals, companies and agencies. Key event sponsors are listed below.
Kingsley School (Juniors & Masters Regatta Sponsor)
Seldons Solicitors (Super Vets Regatta Sponsor)
Shebbear College (Away Events Sponsor)
Clovelly Brewers
Hockings Ice Cream
