World Pilot Gig Championships

[1] There are multiple races that take place over the weekend, of varying distance, all starting on the Friday night.

Traditionally a sailing race is held on the Monday along with an Isles of Scilly vs Mainland rugby union match.

On the Saturday the women and men race separately, with a full line up of gigs.

Two heats are held - one on Saturday and one of Sunday morning - with the top two gigs in each group being promoted and the bottom two relegated.

The finals for both the women and men take place on the Sunday afternoon, again racing the same Nut Rock course.
