There were four St Ayles skiffs in the Great River Race this year.
Coigach Community Rowing Club came all the way from Loch Broom with Coigach Lass and Lily-Rose. The picture shows them powering past us at the Montevetro Building in Battersea (grrr....). Shortly afterwards, Coigach Lass drew away from Lily-Rose to come in 15th overall, winning the mixed crew trophy - well done!

Also racing was Hoi Larnton from
Blakeney in Norfolk, and Groot & Grut from Woudrichem in the Netherlands. I
think 'Groot & Grut' means 'Great and Small'. This picture is from their
website, which has several more.
Which demonstrates that the St Ayles skiff is now a truly international phenomenon after a few short years. Amazing.
