Event description:
As some of you may be aware, our Celtics are based on pilot gigs where a Pilot was rowed out to an incoming vessel. At the time, the pilots would compete with each other for the work; with the fastest gig crew to get their pilot onboard first would get the job.
We have based our Fun Race on this – crews rowing out along a course, with a passenger (the Pilot) to fetch some treasure, before heading back. Start and finish are both at Borth y Gest.
Previously (and weather permitting) the water pistols come out to drench the Pilots on the beaches.
We then parade back down the trots, to put the boats away before getting some food (and drink), and then onto the Prize giving.
