Sandy’s Big Christmas Quiz and a surprise video Christmas wish from Five in a Row in La Gomera waiting to leave on their Atlantic Challenge put us all in the festive mood.  NBRC’s sweepstake to guess the time the boys will take to cross the Atlantic went live and all money raised will go to Reverse Rett. 

Watch your emails for information on how to enter the sweepstake. 

Merry Christmas from NBRC

Published: 20 September 2021

On Friday 17th September 5 intrepid adventurers (Duncan, Ross, John, Jacque and Ann) set off from North Berwick heading to Fort Augustus to take part in Monster the Loch III, a 21 mile row on Loch Ness from Fort Augustus to Dorres Beach along with 86 other human powered boats.

We were among skiffs, yoals, outrigger canoes, 8's, double skulls, kayakers and 2 Sups and the field quickly spread out with the 8's and outriggers speeding ahead. We managed to complete the row in 3 hours 58 minutes with Ann and Jacque taking turns at coxing whilst the men put in full effort for the whole 21 miles.  There were a few blisters and aching muscles afterwards but the were overshadowed by a huge sense of achievement, not to mention the medal and t-shirt!

Regatta Racing Returns to North Berwick

Details
Published: 31 August 2021

After a break of two years, Saturday saw the return of the North Berwick Regatta.

Billed as a “Regatta Lite”, the usual course around Craigleith was replaced with a straight 850m race across the East Bay which leant itself to more spectator friendly viewing.

For obvious reasons invitations this year were limited to local clubs, but the racing was no less competitive with a number of races resulting in the podium positions being separated by the closest of margins.

This year saw the inclusion of an U19 category for the first time and it was great to see all the hard work put in by junior coaches and crews across a number of clubs pay off with a thrilling race.  

The regatta was topped and tailed by the arrival on Saturday from Port Seton and departure on Sunday to Dunbar of the Row Around Scotland baton, a relay race involving all St Ayles Skiff clubs in Scotland to celebrate 10 years of the Scottish Coastal Rowing Association.

Thanks must go to all the people that made the regatta such a success on the day, both on and off the water.  

We are already looking forward to next year and hopefully will also be able to welcome back our friends at other clubs who weren’t able to be involved this time.

Regatta 2021 28th August

Details
Published: 19 August 2021

Our annual regatta is returning this year. It will be in a slightly different format and will be a "Regatta Lite". Although there are a series of races the emphasis is on having fun and rejoicing at being back on the water with our skiffie friends. Instead of rowing round the Craig races will start in the east bay with a finish line at the point of the Platcock Rocks and will cover a distance of approximately 1km. We will be joined by skiffs from Dunbar, Eskmuthe, Port Seton, Row Porty, Eastern and South Queensferry. 

The day will start with the Row Around Scotland baton arriving with a crew from Port Seton. Information about the baton's journey can be found here. We will be rowing the baton on the next leg of its journey to Dunbar on Sunday.

The races start at 11.00 and the last race will be at 15.00. If you are not rowing do come down at some point during the day and soak up the atmosphere. The best place to watch the whole course will be from the walkway above our store at the north end of the dinghy park.
