St Ayles Skiff rowing

St Ayles Skiff rowing

Port Cygnet Sailing Club has a very enthusiastic group of rowing members, with two St Ayles skiffs, the Swan and the Cygnet, active six days a week. Both boats were built here in Cygnet by our members, supervised by local boatbuilder Jeremy Clowes. These two boats are frequently seen out on the bay; rain, hail or shine and the keen following has greatly benefited PCSC membership.

St Ayles skiffs are kit built to a 2009 design by Australian Ian Oughtred, based on the Fair Isle and similar skiffs in use around Britain for hundreds of years. There are now around 200 boats world-wide. 6.7 metres long, with four rowers and a cox, they are a fast, stable and dry boat. To keep costs down, the design is simple – no sliding seats or feathering oars.
