Gig rowers prepare to take on Isles of Scilly world championships

Advertisements

Truro River Rowing Club’s Ladies A crew secured a fourth position last year and has been training throughout the winter.

Crew member Jasmine Bone said: “We’ve been really trying to manage our fatigue. We’re on the water four times a week, in the gym the rest of the time.”

Categories include the Vets for rowers aged over 40, and Super Vets for those over 50.

Helen Pearce is a member of Truro’s Super Vets A crew which set a new record at the British Indoor Rowing Championships in December and described the training schedule as “daunting”.

She said: “There will be crews going out at 07:00, in the winter, in the dark, in messy conditions, you’ve got to get the time on the water.”
