TAMAR and Tavy Gig Club had a brilliant day in Salcombe on Sunday, June 29 at the Salcombe Estuary Rowing Club regatta. They entered ladies and men's A, B and supervet teams and two mixed U16 teams. The races were challenging, with 12 gigs competing on the mile long course and fighting for water around the numerous buoy turns. The ladies' A was first up, battling their way round, and finishing in 10th place. The men's A followed next, finishing in 7th, the ladies' B in 9th and the men's B in 10th place. The two supervets crews also had a strong row, with the ladies finishing in 4th in their race, and the men narrowly beaten. The highlight of the day was watching the two U16 teams. They had a tough row, with the A team, Molly Friendship, Will Gardner, Cameron Mckie, Ben Luke, Ethan Lamerton and Fen Eastaugh suffering a clash with another boat on one of the buoy turns, but some fantastic coxing from Becky Masters saw them pull away in the home straight and take some boats, earning them a well deserved 1st place. The B team also had a brilliant row, with the crew Martha Walke, Amy Crocker, Anya Anstey, Katie Crocker, Elliott Overnell and Mia Anstey, and coxed by Tricia Stewart rowing their hearts out and proving their strength. It was a brilliant start to their season.
