In May 2024, Belfast’s own Come Boating sent three rowing teams to compete in the World Pilot Gig Championship. This annual event takes place in spiritual home of Cornish Pilot Gig rowing, in the Isles of Scilly, 30 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Come Boating last sent sent teams to compete in this niche world championship back in 2018. Join members of the racing teams as they recount their story and share photos of training on the water through the winter, traveling across the sea, racing against 130 other teams, and earning the Sportsmanship award at the international competition.

The program will be offered in person in the Abbott Room of the Belfast Free Library with a Zoom option. To register for the Zoom link to this program please go to belfastlibrary.org/events/ and find the listing.
