A group of friends from London who undertake various charity challenges (including having rowed the Shannon, and the Thames) have contacted SCRA to ask if anyone can lend them a suitable boat for rowing the length of the Great Glen in September.  They hope to raise a few thousand pounds in the process for charity.  Their plan is to set off from West of Fort William on 3 September and take the week to wend their way to Inverness.

They recognise that Loch Ness can be a bit lumpy, as well as being infested with monsters, and have worked out that the St Ayles is a good for the sort of chop they might find.  They probably don’t think that they have enough time to build a St Ayles, although the ladies in Portland might disagree.

If you have a boat that you might be able to lend or hire to them for the trip please conact Vince Harte through vinceharte10@hotmail.com .

The St Ayles is a great design for adventure as well as for racing.  Plan some adventures in your St Ayles and we will be delighted to post reports on them here.
