Well done to our rowers who travelled to Loch Ness for the Monster the Loch event! Despite severely adverse conditions, that caused a shortened course, our crew performed brilliantly.

Many thanks to the organizers and congratulations to all rowers who too part 👏👏
....and no…Unfortunately we didn't spot Nessie 😁😁

🥇 🚣‍♀️ Islandmagee Challenge 🚣‍♀️🥇

Massive congratulations to our crew of
Eoghan, Connor, Stefano, Matt & Sophie (cox), who were first skiff to finish the Islandmagee Challenge, completing the challenging 16k course in an amazing time of 1:28:33

Beyond the racing, it was a privilege to be part of such a fantastic event held in support of *Hope House Ireland*, raising funds for a truly wonderful cause. A huge thank you to Whitehead Coastal Rowing Club for their brilliant hospitality and for hosting such a memorable day.

All those grueling training sessions certainly paid off in style, with Sophie steering and the lads delivering a powerhouse performance from start to finish.

🏆 One week on, and we're still pinching ourselves! 🚣‍♂️

Looking back at last week's win, with our Over 50s mixed team lifting the Iain Oughtred Trophy it means the world to everyone at Kilclief Coastal Rowing Club.

For those who might not know, Iain was the legendary designer of the St Ayles Skiff and a giant in our rowing community. When he sadly passed away in 2024, the Skiffie Festival committee created an annual race to honour his incredible legacy:

* 2024: Dundrum
* 2025: Dundrum
* 2026: Kilclief

This is so much more than just a wee trophy to us—we are deeply honoured and humbled to have our club's name connected to such a legend of the sport.

A massive thank you to everyone who cheered us on and to the committee for keeping Iain's spirit alive on the water. Here’s to the legacy! 💙🌊
