Penryn Rowing Club

Penryn Rowing Club Welcome to Penryn Rowing Club's page where you can keep up to date with all things to do with our club.

From training schedules and race meetings, to social rowing, fun days and events. At Penryn Rowing Club we row Skiffs, Flashboats, & Cornish Pilot Gigs. We welcome children from the age of 7yrs & all adults, whatever the age. Children can start to learn to coxswain at 7yrs in the Flashboats, & can learn to row when they are physically mature enough to handle a junior oar. Flashboat racing categor

ies are under 14, under 16, under 18 & all adults. Gig racing categories are under 14, under 16, all adults & Veteran & Super Veteran for ages 40 & 50. We train on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings from around 5pm, although this can alter slightly with tide times. We also train on Saturday & Sunday if there's no racing. In the winter due to lack of light we train on weekends only. Training times are tide dependant at Penryn Quay & if there is no tide at Penryn we then train at Mylor Yacht Harbour. For anyone who wants to try it out, we hold club sessions on a Wednesday & Sunday, so pop along & give it a go. You don't have to have any previous knowledge or experience of rowing at all, we will teach you all that you need to know. Please note that anyone under the age of 18 must have written permission from a parent or guardian. For any further information or details please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected]

Mylor Yacht Harbour to St Mawes for a delicious coffee and cake this Saturday. The usually warm weather this year has been challenging for our beautiful wooden race gigs this summer. Dew of the Sea needed stauching This Saturday along with six other crew mates we took her on a short adventure over the Roads to St Mawes, she let in a bit of water on the way over but considerable less on the return row. Excellent morning's work.
Thanks to Ian Matthews for towing her to Mylor and Paul Kr for coxing.

Graced by superb weather, Penryn' held their 2026 CRA regatta at Turnaware Bar on the River Fal this Sunday. Thanks go to the co-operation of the Truro Harbour master, National Trust and other boat users for making this regatta possible at this busy time of year. As usual both the gig rowing crews and the CRA sections of Penryn RC pulled together, making the event even better than last year.
Thanks to so many but in particular to Paul Collins and Luke Wills for running our safety boat, The umpires and volunteers from our family of CRA clubs who manned the umpire boat all day. Jock and Bev for coordinating the catering, fire safety, water and hygiene facilities. All the parents, gig rowers and helpers for running the food and refreshments stall and the club raffle.The parents of our junior squad out did themselves on the catering in particular Caroline who must have been baking for days... A you can see it was hugely successful for our junior squad , also a good showing of adults competing in the women's adult races.

We are planning to run more adult sessions at the Town Quay in the very near future, hopeful of encouraging new recruits. and boosting adult crews.
The next adult session will be on the Town Quay at Penryn Monday 31st August at 6 pm. Please dress to take part in a water sport with the appropriate footwear being extremely important . They should be flat comfortable and preferably water proof. It would be useful to know numbers so please messenger us if your hoping to come along .
Thanks again everyone massive effort ,well done ALL.

The Inaugural European Championships took place this weekend at Mount Edgecombe Park.

The CPGA did a great job obviously there will be a few tweaks needed but hats off to all the volunteers who made a real difference to what turned out to be a truly great weekend.

On the theme of truly great our pink ladies are building a lot of respect on the circuit particularly for masters rowers who will just keep going right through to the end.

As a club of more mature rowers we greatly appreciated the opportunity of rowing a full programme on the first two days of this event.
We then as a club made the conscious decision to row masters crews on the seniors racing days.

We mixed in our two crews using the event as practise for our main masters event at Paignton which is happening soon.

We may have finished
well down the field
but the inter-crew dynamic and competitiveness was well worth that effort.
What a group of masters ladies we have here at Penryn RC.
Special thanks must go to Julie Stapleton from Caradon also Cathy and Janet from Roseland RC who helped filling in crew positions and race coxing.

We couldn’t have done it without you ladies.

Thank you also to our other coxes, boat helpers and towers, brilliant weekend.
