EspañolCHARLESTOWN ROWING CLUB
'Charlestown Rowing Club' is a rowing club in the town of Charlestown in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The club is mainly concerned with the sport of Cornish pilot gig racing. The activities of the club are governed by the Charlestown Rowing Club Committee and the Cornish Pilot Gig Association.
★ 'Mystery' - Launched in 1991. Built by Peter Foard of Mevagissey. Named after a former four oared coastguard gig.
★ 'Tormentor' - Launched in 1995. Built by John & Dave Currah of Looe. Named after a former four oared coastguard gig.
★ 'Waterwitch' - Launched in 2003. Built by John & Dave Currah of Looe. Named after a ship of the same name. Famous for being the last UK registered cargo carrying Square rigged sailing ship. Due to connections with one of the families involved with the original ''Waterwitch'' it was possible for a piece of wood from the original boat to be incorporated into the new pilot gig. ''Waterwitch'' is the current race boat for Charlestown Rowing Club.
★ 'Keynvor' - Launched in 2004. A training gig of fibreglass construction built by T Deakin and donated to Charlestown Rowing Club by Ocean Housing as part of a joint social welfare / community cooperation between Ocean Housing, J&R Regan and Charlestown Rowing Club. The name "Keynvor" is Cornish for Ocean. The gig is painted blue, the corporate colours of Ocean Housing.
★ 'The Skiff' - Launched in 2005. A 4m training Skiff.
Both ''Mystery'' and ''Keynvor'' are fitted with a dipping lug rig built by the Square Sail Shipyard[1] in Charlestown. This allows the boats to be used for sailing purposes in addition to their use as rowing boats.
The livery of boats owned by Charlestown Rowing Club is a white bottom with grey topsides and a red gunwale. These colours were apopted from those of Charlestown Primary School.
