Despite some challenging conditions on Saturday 3 September, 9 skiffs braved the wind and rain in a mixture of 2km races and 500m sprints on the Firth of Clyde in the final weekend of Largs Regatta Week!
Host club Firth of Clyde CRC welcomed Skiffies from Arran, Troon, Carrick, Cumbrae, Irvine (Scottish Maritime Museum team), Newburgh and of course North Berwick, who scooped 35 gold medals in 7 out of 9 races, coming out on top and winning the overall winner’s trophy!  Rowers from Royal West (Greenock), St Ayles (Anstruther), Prestwick, Girvan and  Broughty Ferry come along without skiffs to jump in any empty seats.
Here are the top three results from each of the races (full results and report on FOC website, from where all photos are taken. Â Photos by Cyndy Duff, Carolyn le Good Morgan. Â Many more can be found on the club website gallery ):
