CHANONRY ROWING |
|
The club has an active coastal rowing group. We regularly row our club built St Ayles skiffs, Chanonry Maid and Silver Darling, from the clubhouse at Fortrose Harbour. We also attend regattas and a variety of social rowing occasions. With four oars and a Cox there are great opportunities for all ages to keep fit and active all year round.
