 New stretch target

With the ferry fee costing £450 and the entry fee for the event being £150, if we managed to achieve our stretch goal of £600 we would be covering the expense of getting the boat to Stranraer 2025!


Who are we?

We are a local community sports club who aim to open the sport of rowing to all within and surrounding our community. We will be holding a 12 hour sponsored row in Spar, Portaferry on Saturday 8th February.

Why are we crowdfunding?

The St Ayles Skiff Rowing World Championships are being hosted in Stranraer, July 2025. As a small club who wants to represent our community at the championships, we need your help to get us there!

How we’ll spend the money raised

We will use the money raised to pay for transport of our boat via ferry to Stranraer and back (~£400)

If we are lucky enough to go over this goal we will use any remaining funds to contribute to the refurbishment of our boat prior to the event.

Community impact

Our organisation aims to provide sport to our community in the most accessible way possible. The mental and physical benefits of getting out on the water and being active, both physically and socially are massive. By helping to fund this opportunity you're enabling us to keep our costs minimal going forward.
