A lovely social evening at for our members…including saunas, ice baths, hot tubs and some (not so) synchronised swimming! 😆

A big big thank you to all the team at St Mary’s Gig Club, but especially to Kelly, who went above and beyond to make sure our ladies Supervets got to row in the incredible 1870 heritage boat “Golden Eagle”! 🦅 We are so honoured to be a part of this boats’ incredible history.

You may remember last summer completed an Ironman to raise money for our new race oars. The beautiful new oars were delivered straight to the Scillies for their christening in the WPGC this year - thank you Matt 👏
