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.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Castle to Crane - 5 Miles from Home, 19/20 September 2020
Castle to Crane is normally a mass participation 13 mile row on the Clyde from Dumbarton to Glasgow. We loved taking part last year. This year, due to COVID restrictions, they have organised a five mile time trial, where crews organise their own five mile (8047 metres) course on their home waters and submit their time recorded on an accurate timing app. Entry is free, the challenge is to be completed within a time window on 19 and 20 September.
We can enter as many teams as we like and teams can have more than one go if they want! If you fancy giving it a go put your name down in Teamup and we'll sort out crews and times that suit.

START ROWING
Following the Scottish Government’s announcement on the 20th September 2020 we are now able to start rowing again, with suitable mitigation measures in place. The Scottish Coastal Rowing Association has helpfully provided guidance which we’ve used to create our Return to Rowing procedures. Please familiarise yourself with this before booking and attending a session.
Regular open rowing sessions are held throughout the year. Current programme:
Wednesdays 10:00 to 12:00
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.
Rowing at Chanonry is very affordable at only £39 per year for adults and £29 for seniors. There are no session charges.
