02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

NCRC is a member of SCRA (Scottish Coastal Rowing Association). Our role is to promote and facilitate coastal rowing in two traditionally built wooden skiff rowing boats. We encourage new members to take up rowing, teach and train, take part in regattas, world championships and coastal rowing events and hosted our own home regatta in 2024. We mix with other clubs, hold evening social and (boat/rowing) educational meetings and provide 2 indoor rowing machines to assist fitness training and for poor weather alternative. We care for and maintain the boats and equipment ourselves as much as possible.
