CHANONRY ROWING

We love coastal rowing at Chanonry, and it's an easy way to get out on the water in the company of others. You don't even need to buy any special equipment or clothing. All ages and abilities can row, we have an adapted seat in one boat. We provide a variety of opportunities from short social rows (with a cup of tea in the clubhouse after), longer rows to Chanonry Point, Rosemarkie or Avoch or more energetic training sessions. There are also opportunities to take part in expeditions or regattas.

We row in our club built St Ayles skiffs, Chanonry Maid 
​
and Silver Darling, from the clubhouse at Fortrose Harbour.  With four oars and a Cox there are great opportunities for all ages to keep fit and active all year round.

START ROWING

Regular open rowing sessions are held throughout the year. The summer programme from April 2022:
Alternate Monday and Tuesday evenings 19:00 to 20:30
​Wednesdays 10:00 to 12:00 
Fridays 10:00 to 12:00 and 18:00 to 20:00
Sundays 09:30 to 11:00 and 11:00 to 13:00 


You can organise your own rowing session as long as the crew includes an approved cox. They will be able to book out the boat on Teamup.

​We welcome rowers of all ages from all over the Highlands. You don't need to be super fit or able to get out on the water with us. If you have any particular needs let us know and we'll try to work out how best to get you out. We have a boat with an adaptive seat for people with limited core strength. Most of our activity is social rowing at a pace and level to suit those going out. Children over 12 years can attend as per our child involvement guidelines. 

Membership is very affordable at only £50 per year for adults and £29 for seniors for any of our activities, including rowing. There are no session charges.

WHAT TO WEAR AND BRING

You may get wet, up to your knees. Wear stuff that can get wet on your feet and legs. Old trainers, sandals, Crocs etc. Wellies can work if there are not too many waves. On top wear loose, warm, comfortable clothing, preferably synthetic or wool. Gloves can be helpful, sailing or cycling gloves will work. A waterproof top will keep the wind and rain out. The club can provide lifejackets which must be worn on the water at all times. Showers, changing facilities and a galley for making hot drinks are available in the clubhouse.
