Another of Scotlands most beautiful sea passages is getting its own St Ayles skiff.  Kyles Rowing Club in Tighnabruich are busy building a skiff for their community.  Here are a  couple of pictures from a couple of weeks ago, shortly it will  look a whole lot more like  a boat as the builders fit the  stem and stern.

Tighnabruaich had a slow start as they struggled to get a suitable location to build the boat.  They now  have a fantastic location in a shopfront in the village although they are not yet sure how to get the boat out!  Removing a window frame is probably going to be required…..  watch this space for the photos in due course.

The build is really getting going , with two build directors allocating  the tasks which seems to be working with productivity increasing. The builders meet on a Tuesday and a Thursday evening and a Sunday afternoon with a good amount of support from some very handy folk.  Raising money has been a challenge but the community is now doing all it can to get the funds going: from quiz nights to sponsoring a plank Kyles are now steaming ahead.  For more information on Kyles Rowing Club contact Ken Coley on ken@kylesrowing.org.uk .
