Touring Gigs 2x/+

  • Swift Gig 2+ Club B

In late 2008 we added the Touring Gig 2+ (long) to our range of Freedom Boats.

This is available with various rigger combinations: with sweep riggers only, scull riggers only, or with both sweep and scull riggers, so can be rowed as 2x+, 2+. As with the 4+, the cox position can be converted into an additional sculler, so even as 3x is possible.
