Skerries Rowing Club

Days are getting shorter, but there's nothing like dusk against our beautiful sea.

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

Blossom where the rose should grow;

I shall sing when night’s decay

Ushers in a drearier day.

-Emily Bronte

Happy Autumn, all😸❤️

Great day on the water

⚠️STOLEN ROWING BOAT⚠️
Can all in the rowing community keep a look out for this fisa quad rowing boat that was stolen from Wicklow Rowing Club last night. Contact the Gardai with any information. We all know how hard it is to raise the funds for a boat like this. Awful to think people can stoop so low.

Only 3 days to go until the Round Rockabill Rowing Race 2026. Crews all training hard getting in the last few sessions on the water. Thanks to our event sponsor Events in Fingal, our lunch sponsor Fleetoptions, and also to donnelly fresh Fyffes Official Keogh's Farm for their generous sponsor of snacks for participants. Come down to South Strand Skerries at 12 noon to watch the crews head off for Rockabill. We look forward to welcoming all our visiting clubs and crews.

Beautiful and busy evening on the water. Loads of crews making the most of the summer sun. Almost ready for Round Rockabill Rowing Race 2026 this Saturday . Entries close at 12 noon on Tuesday August 25th. Email [email protected] to secure your spot! The row of a lifetime 😎💪🚣‍♀️

It is with great shock and sadness we learned of the passing of Keith Gilbride yesterday. Keith was an active club member, who rowed and coxed with Skerries Rowing Club and completed the Round Rockabill Rowing Race twice and was always on hand to help with maintenance and club tasks. He always had a smile and a sense of mischief. As a club we wish to send our sincere condolences to his wife Aileen, children Sam, Darragh and Niamh, brothers Shaun, David and Diarmuid and his many family and friends. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Only one week until The Round Rockabill Rowing Race 2026! Email [email protected] to secure your spot on this bucket list row. Trophies for numerous categories, prizes for first second and third, a unique commemorative medal and a hot lunch on the beach after your exertions. Beach sprints at the start and finish add an extra bit of fun for crews. A test of crew strength, navigation and tactics.
