Welcome to our new St Ayles forum!
This is an independent forum and not run by the Scottish Coastal Rowing Association but we hope that it can be a valuable resource for SCRA members and clubs and anyone interested in building and rowing the St Ayles Skiff. We hope builders and rowers will exchange ideas, offer help to each other and promote open discussion on all aspects of the St Ayles. The opinions expressed here are those of forum members but if anyone wants to have a direct answer on any point on behalf of the SCRA committee they should email the secretary.
With the growing popularity of the St Ayles worlwide and many kits now being ordered and built outside of Scotland the forum could provide something like the help provided by pioneering clubs to each other here in Scotland where neighbouring clubs visited back and forth with advice on builds, making trailers and all manner of things in the special social aspect that has always been at the heart of St Ayles Skiffing. Hopefully as evidenced by the visiting teams at this years Worlds Skiff Championships in Ullapool this will continue as the class spreads further across the globe.
The continued success of the St Ayles is in no doubt as it has captured the hearts and minds of so many people in such a short time and this is due both to its concept of community involvement and its excellent design, hopefully with your involvement this forum can help an even broader community
