On the water - 24 October 2009
News about the Project is being posted on the “News” tab above. We would also like to see the Forums being used for discussion – please give them a try so that we can iron out any problems.
The Scottish Fisheries Museum at Anstruther is supporting this initiative to restart Coastal Rowing & Racing around the Scottish Coastline, and on inland Lochs.
The basic principle of this project is that the boats to be raced should be available at as low a price as possible, so Jordan Boats are supplying kits for a new Iain Oughtred design known as the St Ayles Skiff. The estimated completion cost of one of these boats is around £3000.
The St Ayles Skiff is 22ft, with a beam of 5′8″. The standard Crew is four oarsmen or women, with a coxswain. Other crew combinations are possible. The boat is a “development class” – the builders will be able to make a wide range of modifications to the basic plans, as long as the hull shape conforms to the kit dimensions.
Immediately available below are the basic leaflet and the Prospectus for the project.
The kit cost been finalised at £1150* and the kits are now available from Jordan Boats. Other items are necessary to complete the boat which will bring the cost to around £3000.
This website is in the early stages of development. There will be a lot more to come very soon.
*Kit cost of £1150 is based on pre-payment. For credit terms please contact Jordan Boats.
