Project inspired by trip to west coast of Scotland
A boat specially built by a Manx community group will take to the water today (Saturday) after almost a year’s work.
The St. Ayles skiff is a four-oared rowing boat which is designed to be launched and rowed from anywhere.
Two more are to be built to facilitate the foundation of the ‘Laxey Coastal Rowing Club’.
The boat will leave from the Shore Hotel in Laxey at 3pm.
Alan Kneen spearheaded the project – he says he was inspired on a trip to the west coast of Scotland:
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
More coastal overtopping expected today
