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…

After the season is before the season – so be prepared! Arran Coastal Rowing Club led by RYC instructor Uel Leckey presented Module 1 of our in-house coxing course, offering members the chance to become competent coxes or improve their coxing skills. We are pleased that so many of our…
Charlie and Ronnie convinced their partners Carol and Carolyn to give coastal rowing a shot. Who could have resisted their enthusiasm? So Carol booked her first outing straight away after she supported us twice from the shore at the Largs and Prestwick regattas and for Carolyn it was her second…
