Eastney Cruising Association (ECA) has three Cornish Pilot Gigs. Two are training gigs built from GRP in 2015 (named in memory of ECA members Sir Alec Rose and Alex Baker BEM) and in 2019 we bought our first wooden gig named Cockleshell to remember the connection between Eastney and the Royal Marines.
The gigs project is entirely self funded by members, with huge support from ECA and also initial support from Sport England.
The ECA is an full affiliated club member of the Cornish Pilot Gig Association (CPGA) and participate in the annual World Pilot Gig Championships (WPGC) in Isle of Scilly.
