Kingswear Rowing Club
Kingswear Rowing Club was formed in 2002 when some 30 people met in the Ship Inn,
Kingswear and agreed to form a rowing club. They committed sufficient funds in terms of loans and donations to purchase one Seine Boat. Since that time the club has grown dramatically to over 120 members ( aged from 9 to 80 years old ) who come from all walks of life.
We now own two Seine Boats and two Pair-Oared boats – one of which is identical to the Dartmouth Regatta “Blue Boats”. We also have a single scull, a support boat, two Concept II Ergometers and a treadmill as well as a boathouse and pontoon in Waterhead Creek and a training area in Kingswear Village Hall.
We have a Junior section (under 18′s and under 16′s) and work with Kingswear Community Primary School in coaching children from 9 years old, although children do not have to be at the school to come along. One former Junior rower for Kingswear RC is Bill Lucas who was an under 23 World Champion and an Olympic finalist!
We also organise rowing taster sessions in the creek for the not so young, so no body misses out.
This year we will be having a number of picnic and BBQ rows to locations such as Sharpham, an evening or two to Dittisham and Garrow Point…Oh yes, and a visit to Newfoundland Cove plus of course our old favourites like Tuckenhay, Stoke Gabriel and Galmpton. We’re also looking at BBQs and get togethers.
We are a very sociable friendly club and always welcome new members whether they have experience of rowing or have never rowed before.
