ROWING
Rowing is mentally as well as physically demanding and is an excellent way to keep fit and compete or just enjoy the water and team spirit.
The Yacht Club has an active group of both types of rowers. We have training teams who have just started competing in the Pembrokeshire Longboat League and an enthusiastic group who have been rowing to build their fitness whilst enjoying the social aspects of the sport. The rowing section has an excellent social scene and we have use of all the yacht club facilities as members.
Our boats are Celtic Longboats, a traditional design brought up to date in GRP by Dale Sailing. With four people rowing, plus the Cox and weighing in at only 150 kg 'Son of a Beach' can tear along at seven knots, when everyone pulls their weight, although normal cruising speed is about 5 knots.
The rowing section is open to all and if you have not rowed before don't worry as instruction is always provided. We do guarantee a friendly welcome and a relaxed opportunity for you to try a new sport.
If you would like to try rowing with us please call the club house 01646 692799
