Seil Coastal Rowing

Selkie will be at Sealife Adventure’s pontoon in Clachan Seil, on Saturday 26th April from 1400 to 1730 (ish).

You show, you row!

An open afternoon for everyone over P7 age, to initiate them into the joys of Scottish Coastal Rowing. Lifejackets provided. Come on your own or with friends …

Any rowers who can come along to help out will be most welcome – either to row, cox, meet & greet, etc

Many thanks to David & Jean for allowing us to use their facilities

Selkie travelled to Mull, by Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, to take part in the celebrations and launch of Isle Of Mull Coastal Rowing’s skiff, Eala Bhan. We took lots of folk out for a spin round the harbour. On Sunday, we cruised with the Mull skiff, with much swapping of boats, crews and oars. A great weekend – thank you Mull, for making us feel so welcome!

Selkie (+ three friends!) is booked onto the ferry to attend the launch of the Isle of Mull skiff on Saturday 15 March (0930), returning on 16 March (Sunday). We’ll be loading Selkie up early on Saturday morning.

We have two spare seats in the car, if anyone would like to join us. However, it does mean sharing the expenses of the car+trailer on the ferry (£27.60 with five pax + your passenger ticket @ £7.60 – both return). There is a bus service meeting the ferry on Saturday if you wanted to come back earlier (but not on Sunday). Isle of Mull Coastal Rowing could maybe help with accommodation in Tobermoray on Saturday night.

Let Sue know if you would like to be part of the crew.

Regular rowing has started again, but please exercise extreme caution when down at the pontoon – the Soling has tipped on her cradle. She is meant to have been moved, but in the meantime please park well away from the yacht and be very careful when moving Selkie!

To book a slot, just sign up on the tab above – come on your own, or with friends. Don’t worry if you havn’t rowed before. Have a go! After three shots, if you like it, we’ll ask you to join the club at £10 a year for over 16s. A bargain for a rowing machine with scenery.

Selkie left Big John’s at Balvicar this morning, after winter maintenance, and a crew rowed her back across the bay to Nick’s pontoon, towing the launching trolley behind us! Even with the wind behind us, it was remarkably hard work so we have decided not to take it everywhere with us after all…

It’s behind you, Ray!

Selkie is there for the community to use – just sign up on the ‘Book a Rowing Session tab’. Come along for a trial row – if you like it after three sessions, we’ll ask you to join the club @ £10 for the year.
