Hayling Island Sailing Club is delighted to introduce an exciting new opportunity for members and newcomers to experience the thrill of coastal rowing in a traditional Celtic Longboat.
Combining teamwork, fitness, adventure, and a connection to the sea, coastal rowing is one of the fastest-growing watersports in the UK. Now, HISC members will have the chance to take to the water in a Celtic Longboat and enjoy Chichester Harbour and the surrounding coastline from a completely new perspective.
What is Coastal Rowing?
Unlike river rowing, coastal rowing takes place on open water, embracing the natural conditions of the sea. Crews work together to power the boat through waves, tides, and changing conditions, creating an exhilarating and rewarding experience.
The Celtic Longboat is a robust 6-person rowing boat, traditionally crewed by four rowers, a bow person, and a coxswain. Success depends on teamwork, communication, and rhythm, making it a highly social activity that is as enjoyable as it is
No Experience Necessary
You don't need any previous rowing experience to get involved. Training and guidance will be provided, and new participants will quickly learn the basics of rowing technique, boat handling, and crew coordination.
Come and discover coastal rowing at HISC and be part of something new from the very beginning.
