Ever wanted to build a boat? Now is your chance!
Have you ever wanted to build a boat but lacked the time or resources. Now is your chance. Albany Maritime Foundation has been approached to support the construction of one or more ‘St Ayles Skiffs’ in Albany. These are four oared rowing skiffs. The Denmark Community Rowing Association constructed two boats for community rowing during 2022, adding two to the growing fleet in WA (currently 9). This is becoming a popular recreation where people can be involved in the construction, maintenance and recreational use of an historic wooden boat.
Denmark Rowers will be attending the Albany Maritime Festival on July1 with its two St Ayles Skiffs and running “Try Rowing” in front of the Albany Boat Shed in the harbour. Menber will be there to discuss with any interested people the possibility of building skiffs in Albany. Come on down and register your interest.
