Rowing Boats & Tenders
SGBA has two rowing skiffs. They are available for use by members.
Red Admiral, a Chester Yawl designed for two rowers is our newest addition to the fleet. She was built by Steve Goodchild and his band of enthusiastic helpers over winter 2019/20. For more details about the build see Red Admiral - a special addition to the SGBA fleet.
The Whitehall Skiff (pictured above left) is designed for a single rower.
Tenders: To access other club boats on mooring buoys, please use the small rowing boat normally located by the Tera/Topper rack.
Remember you must always wear a bouyancy aid or lifejacket when using an SGBA club boat.
Please remember to book your boat via the website before use.

Red Admiral
Red Admiral has 3 sets of oats:
- Short wood ones, no hand overlap. Easiest to use.
- Grey with white blades "sculling" oars where your hands overlap
- Sweep oars, labelled "sweep" so two people can row.
She is located indoors. Please return her indoors.
There is no bung so sponge her out after use. For details of the rowing positions see Red Admiral Available for booking
