Fresh off the back of their success at London 2012, the world-famous Team GB rowers, including Cornwall's golden-girl Helen Glover and the legend that is Katherine Grainger, swapped the sliding seats of Eton Dorney for tradional Cornish Pilot Gigs and the seas of St Mawes.No less than 10 Team GB Rowing Olympic medallists were competing off St Mawes Harbour against crews of top Cornish gig rowers in the nail biting challenge.
Team GB rower, Annie Vernon is an Ambassador for ShelterBox. Funds raised at the event will go towards helping ShelterBox to continue delivering emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disasters worldwide.
