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.
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.
