Helen
When I first came along to the PCRC, I was quite nervous and a bit worried if I'd be good enough as I hadn't done any costal rowing before.
The group who took me out were brilliant, they explained all the safety stuff, and made me feel really comfortable and safe.
While on the water it was made really clear that if at any time I was uncomfortable we could turn back.
The row was brilliant! The crew and cox were really kind and encouraging.
Being out on the water and seeing Portsoy from a different perspective was great.
Since that first row, I have met more members of the club and every person I have met has been really friendly and good fun.
They have made friends and guests welcome, letting them join us for a row when they have been visiting the area.
Absolutely love this club.....couldn't recommend it highly enough.

I have had many magical experiences with the club. Mid summers night when the water was calm and there was a marvellous sunset with a super moon. Experiences apart, what I really like about the club is the super friendliness of the members and their support and encouragement for novice rowers.

Being part of the Portsoy Coastal Rowing Club is a joy. They’re such a welcoming supportive and fun bunch of people. I was apprehensive before my first row - worrying that I wasn’t fit / athletic enough to ‘pull my weight’ with the others - but I needn’t have worried - it’s a very inclusive club. There’s the option of gentle social rows - which have been ideal for me as a beginner this year and there’s also the option of more athletic ‘training for regatta ’ rows which I’m aiming to take part in next year. Being out on the water is amazing - so good for the soul. Occasionally we have seals or dolphins for company. I was hooked from my very first row.

When I went along for my free trial row, I was thrilled to be made so welcome. I found the instruction on rowing easy to follow and the Cox and other members were very helpful and kind. I’ve since become part of this lovely club and got involved at regattas and social events. I’ve even joined in the winter training, to build stamina for next years races! Enjoying it all.
