Governor George Fergusson will go head-to-head with Michael Dunkley this weekend at a pilot gig regatta in St George’s Harbour.

The Premier and Mr Fergusson will also be joined by Deputy Governor Ginny Ferson, as well as a host of gig rowers for an afternoon of races and activities on Saturday. The event, organised by the Bermuda Pilot Gig Club, will begin at 1pm outside the East End Mini Yacht Club.

During the afternoon there will be music and refreshments before a prize-giving ceremony in the Sea Cadets building.

The first race is scheduled to begin at 2pm and members of the public are welcome to try their hand at gig rowing for the first time.
