Gigs are 30-foot-long boats, and people from different islands would row out to a wreck. Whoever reached the wreck first would claim all the treasures for their island. Sometimes, the boat would not be a wreck, but a boat needing a pilot to steer the ship into the port. The captain would usually give the people of the island a little money, and that meant a lot because the people who lived on the Isles of Scilly were quite poor. Now, gig racing is practised as a sport.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
    • Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
