Visit the club websiteAbout this club
Paignton Amateur Rowing Club is based on South Quay at Paignton Harbour and uses Torbay as its training water. The club was founded in 1890 and describes itself as open to beginners and experienced rowers.
Its programme covers gig rowing, skiff rowing and coastal rowing. The club publishes separate adult and junior training sessions and says training continues throughout the year, with water sessions scheduled on several days each week.
New rowers can start through a Learn to Row course before taking full membership. Published categories include junior, adult, social and cox membership, allowing both rowing and non-rowing participation.
The club's home facilities include a private gym and indoor rowing machines as well as its boat provision. Members can row recreationally or train for coastal racing, and the club says all abilities are welcome.
Paignton competes in the coastal rowing community around the south-west. Its use of traditional gigs, skiffs and coastal boats gives members more than one route into racing and recreational rowing from the harbour.
The official website gives the full address as Paignton Amateur Rowing Club, South Quay, The Harbour, Paignton, Devon, TQ4 6DT. A Torbay Council licensing record independently uses the same address and postcode.
