These shots of the 2011 Anstruther Regatta taken by Ron Wallace at the end of last month show various Scottish Coastal Rowing Association St Ayles skiffs racing in the harbour – it looks like they’re having quite a time, doesn’t it?
There are more of Ron’s fabulous shots here and here.
Alec Jordan, who originally conceived the idea for Scottish Coastal Rowing, has this to say about the event:
‘It was a little wild and windy, and the St Ayles performed superbly. None of the skiffs took more than a couple of pints of water during the races.’
Perhaps that’s not so surprising as the boats are derived from traditional craft and were designed by Iain Oughtred.
The Scottish Coastal Rowing phenomenon continues to be awe-inspiring, with a very lively racing calendar and new boats being built all the time – and not all in Scotland.
