Our goal is to bring together members of our community via building and rowing our own St Ayles Skiff. Coastal rowing is a fun group activity that can be tailored to all abilities. We were the first public inshore club to build and row their own St. Ayles skiff. Our first boat 'Grebe' is named after the rare Slavonian Grebe that can be seen on inland lochs around Strathpeffer, and our second boat 'Tern' joined her in 2022. We launched our 3rd boat- a Ness Yoal 'Sula' in March 2024.
We have four categories of membership: YOUNG PERSON (Free), ADULT (£55), FAMILY (£80) and ASSOCIATE (Free). The membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March. However, if you join after 31st October, the fee is reduced to £25. More details and membership form.
Our club name features the village of Strathpeffer, where the majority of our founders live, but our rowers and builders come from as far afield as Golspie, Inverness, Strathconon and Moniack. We have no fixed limit to the area covered by 'District'. If you live close enough to take part in our events, then you are in our district and you are welcome!
We look forward to seeing you soon and please get touch via email or Facebook if you have any questions.
