Row Porty: bringing rowing back to Portobello

Trophies from Portobello are among those missing after a break in at the Watersports Centre at Strathclyde Park near Glasgow on 7 March. Almost the entire contents of the Scottish Rowing trophy cabinet was stolen.
Portobello heritage missing after Glasgow break in
Some of these trophies date back to the 1870s and are irreplaceable. Among them is the Portobello Junior 8s Trophy for coastal rowing awarded by the former Portobello Rowing Club. Also missing is Portobello's Marine Trophy from 1933, named after the Marine Cafe in Portobello.
We are rowporty!
We've built Icebreaker & Jenny Skylark, two five person rowing boats, for everyone in Portobello to row for recreation, exercise and racing.
The boats are St Ayles Skiffs, designed by internationally renowned small boat designer Iain Oughtred for the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project. She's part of a fleet of skiffs around Scotland and beyond.
Rowporty is a project of the Portobello Sailing & Kayaking Club. Owned on behalf of the community by PS&KC, the boats are kept in the boat park on the Prom at the foot of Bath Street. We row off Portobello beach and take the boats to regattas across Scotland.
We'd love to have you on board! Click here to get started!
