The Committee

Our committee is made up of a small but dedicated group of volunteers who give their time and energy to keep Charlestown Rowing Club running smoothly. They oversee the day-to-day activities, from managing bookings and maintaining equipment to supporting members and ensuring our sessions are safe and enjoyable. Beyond the day-to-day, they also help plan for the future, guiding the ongoing development of the club so that it continues to grow and remain a welcoming space for rowers of all ages and abilities.

Their hard work behind the scenes often goes unseen, but it is this commitment and passion that allows our members to focus on enjoying rowing, building friendships, and being part of a supportive community on the water. The committee is always keen to hear from members with ideas or suggestions, and they strive to make Charlestown Rowing Club a friendly, inclusive, and thriving place for everyone who joins.

Who we are

“Founded in 1990, Charlestown Rowing Club has flourished as a hub of community engagement and charitable activity. Over the years, the club has helped hosted events like Regatta Week, Carnival, and the Boxing Day Charity Swim, raising thousands for local charities.”

A Community-Centric Club

“Charlestown Rowing Club has established itself as a strong competitor within the Cornish rowing community, achieving regular podium finishes at regional regattas and delivering consistently impressive performances at the World Pilot Gig Championships. These results reflect the club’s dedication to structured training, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence on the water.”

Proud of Our Competitive Success

“The club warmly welcomes individuals across all age groups and skill levels—juniors, seniors, veterans, men and women—whether they seek recreational outings or competitive racing. With social activities, indoor rowing programs for schools, corporate events, and quiz nights, CRC offers something for everyone .”

An Inclusive Club for All Ages and Abilities

“Nestled in the Cornish harbour village of Charlestown, the club specializes in the iconic fixed-seat Cornish Pilot Gig—a design with maritime roots from the 1790s. Crews launch from the harbour in summer and move to Fowey in winter to make use of sheltered conditions.”
