Epic Irish Sea Challenge Brings Scottish Rowers to Ramsey

The rowing club's expedition will see their crew depart from Scotland and arrive at Ramsey by midday on Saturday. Once in Manx waters, they will be joined by local volunteers from Laxey Coastal Rowing Club, who will help support the final leg of this remarkable single-day challenge across one of the British Isles' most demanding sea routes.

Supporting Community Rowing Through Adventure
