Registration for the World Pilot Gig Championships (WPGC) is administered by the Cornish Pilot Gig Association (CPGA). This collaboration helps the event to meet high safety and data standards.
On receiving their invitations, club officers should complete the RSVP form linked to the invite. This will secure the entry of the club.
When registration opens, club administrators will be contacted directly by the CPGA to register their gigs via cpga.justgo.com. If you have any questions please contact hello@cpga.co.uk.

What will happen next?
Clubs will be sent a Gig Shipping Form to be completed and returned to the CPGA by 1st December. Registrations will open by mid November and will close by mid January. Notice of these dates will be communicated by email to all club officials and posted on our websites.
Can I be a member of more than one CPGA club?
Yes, once an individual has signed into cpga.justgo.com they can be added to a single or multiple club member registers. There is no limit to the number of clubs that individuals can join. Individuals can sign in to cpga.justgo.com and visit ‘My Profile’ in the ‘Member Area’ to view, add and manage clubs, in the ‘My Club’ area to the right of the page. This area is where individuals can nominate and change their clubs. Club administrators can add individuals to their member register.
Can I compete for more than one club at WPGC 2024?
As in previous years, rowers and coxes may compete for more than one club at WPGC 2024. However, rowers and coxes must be listed on the membership register of each club that they represent.
Can I volunteer to help out the WPGC delivery team over the weekend?
Volunteers are very welcome. If you are interested in volunteering at the event please contact worldgigs@gmail.com.
What should our club do if it cannot attend this year?
If an invitation is not required, it must be returned to the WPGC for re-allocation - not passed on to another club. Non-attendance will not affect invitations for the following year.
Can the same gig be registered in more than one of the races?
The same gig can race in the men’s and women’s opens. However, the same gig will not be able to race in both the men’s vets and men’s supervets or both the women’s vets and women’s supervets as the race timings are too tight to allow this.
