Coastal rowing with Wallasey Coastal Rowing Club

A new community rowing club based at Wallasey Beach Club, rowing on the Mersey Estuary and Liverpool Bay. No experience or special kit needed.

Row from the beach

Wallasey Coastal Rowing Club (Wallasey CRC) is a community club rowing from the beach, with Wallasey Beach Club as its home base.

Coastal rowing is rowing in sturdy boats built for the open sea, as a crew. It's sociable, it's a great workout, and you see the coast from the water. Coaching is provided, so complete beginners are welcome, and there are junior and senior memberships.

The fleet

The boats

Pembrokeshire Longboat

A fixed-seat coastal boat for a crew of up to six rowers, and a forerunner of the Celtic Longboat. Steady and sociable, and a good boat to learn in.

Kursaal Flyer

A seven-metre coastal sliding-seat pair for two rowers, for when you want to go a bit quicker.

The latest on the boats, sessions and races is on the Wallasey CRC website.
