Six ACRC rowers joined the Loch Melfort muster at the Isle of Seil this year on 18th – 19th May 2019. It’s Seil CRC’s annual litter pick to Eileen Gamnha. We experienced wonderful sunshine on Friday, typically soft Argyll weather on Saturday, followed by a trip to Puilladobhrain and Goat…

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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
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…
