Crouch Shield Gig Race

9th June 2024 @ SWFYC

Sunday 9th June, the Crouch Shield Gig Rowing race will be seen from the banks of the River Crouch. The race starts at Brandy Hole, at 1.30pm, and then streaks past the yacht club before turning near Hayes Farm to finish in front of our slipway just after 2pm. We expect 6 boats to compete, each raced by 5 crew. SWFYC won it last year, but will face tough competition this year!

Summer memberships!

At this time of year, we invite members of the public to join the club with a summer renewal plan, running from June 1st 2024 til May 31st 2025

You can join with full access to our rowing gigs, kayaks, paddleboards, and sailing dinghies from as little as £138 in the first year, reducing to £93 for subsequent years!

We will even give you free training on all but the sailing dinghies (as that program is full).

Sea Kayak £600 – SOLD

my much loved Valley Etian 17:7, Valley would say

Fast, straight tracking but still with the hint of playfulness. The longer waterline, of the Etain, ensures that performance is maintained and handling remains predictable, even when laden.

I would agree with this
