Member of the Fingal Rowing Club at the blessing and naming ceremony of their new boat Fingal at the Martello Tower, Balbriggan beach. Fingal Rowing Club are preparing to host the Lambay Challenge on September 25 which will see a rowing race from Rush beach to Lambay Island and back again. The skiffs worked between Lambay Island just north of Dublin Bay and Wicklow Head, where they required considerable skill on behalf of the oarsmen. The long tradition of this style of coastal rowing is now carried on through the rowing clubs affiliated to East Coast Rowing Council. Fingal Rowing Club is the tenth rowing club within the East Coast Rowing Council.
