Conditions were glorious for the Wales Sea Rowing Association competition held in Barmouth on Sunday 5th August. The joint (North & South) league event was hosted by rowing section of the Meirioneth Yacht Club. In blazing sunshine, rowers were welcomed from clubs as far afield as Pembrokeshire and the North of Anglesey. Over 20 boats including celtic longboats and yoles were launched from the Bath House beach, providing a truly impressive spectacle for the considerable crowd of onlookers. The celtic longboats have a crew of 4 rowers and a cox, with both single and double seat yoles also competing. A series of races were held for Men’s Ladies’ and Mixed teams covering a range of age categories including Juniors, Seniors, Veterans and “Super Vets”. The Mawddach rowers themselves competed in their celtic longboats “Merlyn y Môr” and “Draig y Fawddach”. Crews rowed out to sea for about a mile to the start line. Then the race course headed north (parallel to Barmouth beach), before doubling back to head for the finish line at the harbour entrance. The crews rowed in challenging sea conditions, and extremely hard-fought battles culminated in very exciting close finishes, with boats separated by only seconds after several miles of rowing. An excellent day was had by all, proving once again that Barmouth can arrange and host competitive events of the highest standard. MENS RACE
