The Rob Roy Boat Club, or Robs, is the most successful of the non-university clubs in Cambridge. We have traditionally focused on training and racing in small boats, and we are proud to cater for everybody from complete beginners to masters, juniors to seniors and international rowers and scullers.

Rob Roy Summer Sculling Course 2010
The Adult Course is now full.
The Junior Course (beginners) is now full.
Following on from the successes of last year’s summer sculling courses, Rob Roy Boat Club are pleased to announce that we will once again be running an intensive sculling course for adult scullers and rowers later this summer on the Cam. This year’s course is aimed at scullers of all abilities; from beginners hoping to start sculling for the first time, through to experienced scullers looking to improve their technique and racing skills. It is recommended however that beginner scullers already have some sweep rowing experience.
In addition, we will again be running two junior only (13-18 y/o) courses. One for beginner juniors, new to sculling, based at Milton Country Park and another for juniors with existing sculling experience, based on the Cam.
All courses will comprise of two-hour coached sessions each weekday evening from Monday 9th August to Friday 13th August. The junior courses will run from 4.30pm to 6.30pm each day with the adult sessions running from 6.30pm through to 8.30pm each day.
The costs for each course are as follows:
- Junior Course (beginners): £40
- Junior Course (intermediate): £75
- Adult Course: £75
If you are interested you must:
- Be able to swim 50m fully clothed
- Be available on the dates specified
If you have your own boat and blades then please bring them along, but we will provide equipment (boats, blades etc.) at no extra cost if you require them.
This course is not open to current RRBC members.
If you would like to register or have any questions about any of the courses then please email:
