Investment in a new pontoon keeps membership growing.
Founded in 1936, St Patrick’s Rowing Club in Ringsend has taken the All-Ireland Senior Skiff Race title 16 times in the last 20 years and has secured gold in international competitions in London and Italy. The club now boasts a membership of 100 people, aged from 9 to 90.
Thanks to support from Community Finance Ireland the oldest skiff-rowing club in Dublin can now launch their traditional skiffs from a modern new pontoon at the mouth of the River Liffey.
“So much of our community is steeped in rich history but we also want to give our members the best, most advanced infrastructure that we can and importantly, to make it accessible to everyone in the community. This new pontoon means we can get everyone out on the water to enjoy this fantastic sport.”
David Cox, Treasurer St Patrick’s Rowing Club
