The Scottish Coastal Rowing project is currently being run by a steering group who are laying the groundwork for a future Association of clubs who intend to competitively row the St Ayles Skiff.
It is intended that as we get close to the time that racing commences – hopefully in late May 2010 – the Association will be properly constituted and take over the running, class rules, and all the other jobs associated with such an association.
We do need more people to help with this job, so if you are enthusiastic about this idea, and able to volunteer some time over the coming months to help make it a success, please contact one of the current members of the steering group.
They are:
- Chairman – David Tod – Scottish Fisheries Museum Trustee (currently on holiday – details will be published on his return)
- Robbie Wightman – Solicitor – secretary@scottishcoastalrowing.org
- Alec Jordan – Proprietor of Jordan Boats – kits@scottishcoastalrowing.org
Most needed are:
- Website development and maintenance
- Publicity

We are trying to gather together interest for nine boats throughout the Outer Hebrides. So far three groups have expressed an interest.

Congratulations on your project. I am a member of the Foyle Punt Assoc. and we row Foyle class punts on Lough Foyle. last year we launched 2 Donegal skiffs as well and we had a very successful Open day in september 09, with visting crews participating. We have a dream of rowing to Skye.!!?( St Columba left from lough Foyle). We have the crew but are considering purchase of Celtic Longboat…(funds are low at present given recession). We have about 90 members.

Congratulations on the beautiful new boat. You are so lucky to have Iain Oughtred up in Skye. Such a pity for us in Cork that he didn’t stay here all those years ago.
is there any chance of some boats making it south to Cork for the Ocean to City race on Sat. 5th June next? I’d say there’d be a lot of interest in seeing the boat down here too. http://www.oceantocity.com
I’m a member of a currach club here involved in recreational rowing but we also have a Bantry Bay longboat and are looking around for a smaller coxed sail / oar boat that doesn’t require a crew the size of a football team to go out to complement it.
