2009 Blackburn Challenge

Gloucester Gig Rowers bring in a silver medal on the Siren Song with a time of 3:33:47 for the 20+ mile race around the Cape!

 

Welcome!

The Gloucester Gig Rowers are pleased to have you visit our site!   We are a diverse group of people with one common interest: to be on the water.  Our community is about enthusiasm as well as skill; determination as much as strength, team pursuit rather than individual.

We organize rows with two Pilot Gig Boats and a dory. We are affiliated with the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Gloucester’s maritime industrial history.

The Siren Song is getting a makeover!
