Arran’s triumph at Loch Awe Adventure
Arran CRC attended the inaugural Loch Awe Adventure and enjoyed two days of great rowing. It was Arran’s first regatta of the season on Loch Awe on Sunday 29th April – a 11.7km race over two legs . Arran put together two strong crews for both legs and faced stiff…
Invite from Troon CRC, 14th April 2019
ACRC were invited to join Troon CRC for a day of mixed crew racing. Some very competitive 500 metre sprints in the Harbour and several 2.9k rows out to the red and green buoys made for some great rowing. Troon were the perfect hosts by providing everyone with a super…
Castle to Crane 15th September 2018
After a week to recover their strength after the Exciseman’s Chase, nine Arran rowers (Caroline, Cil, Charlie, Dave, Emma, Fritzi, Karen, Ronnie and Stuart) took both of their skiffs (Seabhag and Iolair) to the Castle to Crane race at the Clydebuilt Festival, a 13 mile (21km) row along the Clyde…
Exciseman’s Chase 2018 in Maidens
On Saturday 8th September ACRC took part using skiff Seabhag in the Exciseman’s Chase, a race of approximately 8 kilometres out of Maidens Harbour. Eight Clyde clubs (Arran, Carrick, Cumbrae, FOCCR, Prestwick, Troon, Renegade and Royal West) battled valiantly through choppy seas at the scenic foot of Culzean Castle, changed…
A successful day for Arran rowers at Largs, 14th July 2018
On a sunny Saturday morning on 14th July, 12 Arran rowers (Cil, Charlie, Dave, Emma, Fritzi, Graeme, Matt, Ronnie, Rory, Sarah, Stephen and Stuart) were on the first ferry with skiff Seabhag heading to the regatta in Largs. First of all a huge thank you to all FOCCRs (Firth of…
Round Arran Relay 30th June 2018
Out of bed at 4:15am to check the wind forecast I saw that the cloudbase was below 500ft on Goatfell! Not a promising start to the day. Luckily as we got Seabhag ready for launching the sun rose and the cloud began to burn off. The first stage crew set…
2nd Arran Regatta, 16th-17th June 2018
A wet start Saturday began early in the morning with a hive of activity in the pouring rain. As the last crews arrived on the first ferry, Lamlash Yacht Club was humming – gazebos going up, rowers welcomed with hot drinks, the course laid and the hard standing quickly filled…
Racing with the white horses
Fired up after a professionally coached warm-up session by Laura Aitcheson, 5 of our rowers decided to brave the elements and have a row over to Holy Isle, racing with the white horses. Even in Lamlash Bay conditions can be a bit challenging now and then. A strong easterly forced…
The Beast from The East
On 27th February, just before the “Beast from the East” hit us full force and the wind got really strong, five ACRC rowers had a really wild and invigorating row over to Holy Isle and back – some would say a definite “brown trouser row”. We were mightily impressed with…
