The SCRA now has over 70 member clubs around the Scottish Coast and on large freshwater lochs. The clubs are introducing their communities to social rowing, expeditions, and friendly racing in St Ayles skiffs and sometimes other designs of coastal rowing boats too. Thousands of people new to these activities are enjoying the teamwork required to build and race these boats. As well as making new friends within their communities, participants meet and learn about the other communities who are participating, many of which share a common history through the sea.
The concept of a community built kit rowing boat came from Alec Jordan of Jordan Boats who continues to supply the St Ayles Skiff Kit at an affordable price, making the St Ayles skiff the most economic way to get on the sea for communities and individuals. The idea was backed by the Scottish Fisheries Museum at Anstruther which commissioned the St Ayles Skiff design from Iain Oughtred.
The St Ayles skiff became a remarkable success remarkably quickly. It has now attracted world wide attention and an international class association, St Ayles Skiff International (SASI), has now been formed.
