CAMTRIER

After a PNPGC Committee meeting we watched the following videos prepared by Anthony Langham on the races at the Scillies at Longboat cinema with all members and partners invited. Thanks to Anthony and gigrower and PNPGC members for content of these videos

Great videos to show how our club has progressed to success and provide a great legacy for our pirate queen Julie. Shame I had to leave early due to the death of my beloved dog Fudgey Boy.

Lovely evening for a training row. Plenty of technique sessions as well as few racing starts under Barry’s coxing.

Crew moved about a bit to streamline the gig except me however we ended in the positions below

Cox: Barry, 6: Steve, 5:,Felix, 4: Branchy 3: James 2: Me 1: Trev

Couple of videos of our rows in different position except me in 2

Lovely evening for a row with lots of technique training and racing starts Cox:,Barry, 6: Jem 5: Wendy 4: Trevor, 3: Chris, 2: Me, 1: Branchy

Didn’t start the watch until around 500 metres so around 4k of rowing.

The race for the vets men’s was the first race after the ladies but before the Supervets which is the race at where our ladies were participating. The first race was St Agnes followed by the Nutrock. See the distance below

The first St Agnes placing race was longer and the crew consisted of Cox : Ken (Pothleven), 6: Steve, 5: James, 4: Anthony, 3: Barry (Coverack) 2: Me, 1: Duncan ( Mount’s Bay) . Good race and conditions good for rowing but difficult as Antony’s stretcher broke. Race info

We rowed it to the start and then raced but slower than normal with the broken stretcher

The main NutRock race for the final followed

We had a good race against vault and did a lot better with the repaired stretcher. The results are as below, so we beat 3 boats.

It would have been nice if we could have had a Supervets or Masters crew. The ladies Supervets team did well. Some photos below. Was looking forward to the next day but found out that my Fudgey boy had died so got the last ferry ⛴️ out on Saturday. Looking forward to next year and perhaps can stay and for the whole 3 days.

Unfortunately this was the day my lovely Fudgey boy died and ended my Scillies participation and found out the morning after.

Last PNPGC vet Scillies team training row before the Scillies world champs in Rhos coxes: Jim/Trev 6: Steve, 5: James, 4: Tom (fill in) 3: Barry, 2: Me, 1: Duncan. Few racing starts and a solid row in slight swelly seas. Looking forward to racing in our boat which is waiting for us on the green in St Mary’s – See our boat tucked away at the top with our PNPGC name on the black cover 🏴‍☠️
