New Builds

We are passionate about Cornish Pilot Gigs and nothing is better than getting the opportunity to build a new gig for a club. There is something very special about watching something start from a set of plans, and watching it grow into a much cherished and loved object that will be rowed and raced for many years to come.

We are aware that commissioning a new pilot gig is a huge decision and expense for a club. For this reason, we normally split the payments throughout the build to help. With an initial deposit required to cover most of the materials, license fee and a further three payments, one after each inspection. Typically, we would say that a build would take anywhere between 5 to 6 months and that each payment would be at roughly 2 months intervals. We are also happy to discuss possible other payment schedules that may work for your club.
