Bits of the gig boat...

by Sara Bird


If you're a new rower, much of what you hear from your cox will sound like gibberish...so this post is all about boat bits. When whoever's directing lifting the gig shouts 'hold onto the stringer not the gunwales', or the cox calls 'keep the centre of the leather between the pins' it helps to know what bits of the boat or oar they are referring to...

So, here are a couple of pics - and I know I've spent gunwale wrong...
