East Fife Sports Council was delighted to support Crail Rowling Club with funding. The club
row and race a St Ayles Skiff called Partan – a 22ft long wooden boat built by a small team of
local craftsmen and women. Partan is kept at the harbour during the rowing season and the
club regularly rows and trains in the waters between Roome Bay and Caiplie Caves. Boat
maintenance is carried out over winter in the old lifeboat shed on Nethergate. In the
summer, 20 members travelled from Crail to Stranraer to compete in the third St Ayles Skiff
World Championships, joining over 500 crews from around the world to take part in six days
of exciting races on Loch Ryan. Having entered 11 out of the 22 categories, they were
delighted with a final placing of 13 out of 55 clubs. The club has been fundraising to
purchase an upgraded trailer to help tow Partan. The EFSC wish the club all the very best in
its future racing and with transporting the all-important skiff.
