The club ethos involves encouraging the sport of rowing, good craic and beagáinín gaeilge (a spoonful of irish). There are over 200 members that make use of the 16 currachs that the club uses. We have an almost complete collection of the various types of currachs that were in use around the west coasts of Ireland.
The club boasts of 5 working Naomhógs (considered the pinnacle of currach evolution), 2 low profile racing currachs, a 3 hand aran island currach, a 2 hand naomhóg and 6 dunfanaghys.
We also have a diverse range of members both Irish and international - our current club captain, Stefan Wulff, pictured here, hails from a gaeltacht in North Germany! We also encourage family membership and many of our summer trips are family events.
Anyone can learn how to row, and should you be interested you are most welcome to join us any saturday morning at the Shandon Rowing club. Day membership is only €5 and includes tuition, insurance and a life jacket is also provided. So what are you waiting for, siúil leat!
