Eskmuthe has two skiffs, Honesty and Steedie Falconer. Honesty is named after the Honest Toun, and Steedie Falconer is named after one of the last fishwives in Fisherrow. They are rowed by four rowers on fixed seats, with a coxswain who steers and coordinates the crew. You can find out more about the origin of the design of the skiffs here, and watch this short film.. |

Honesty and Steedie were built by club members and others from the local community. Honesty was built in 2013. Steedie Falconer was completed in March 2015 (pictures opposite). You can read more about the process of building Steedie here. (Click on the menu at the top left hand corner.) Click here to see pictures of Steedie being launched. |
Honesty and Steedie take a bit of a bashing over our very busy, high mileage summers so during the winter maintenance and repairs are carried out. As the pictures opposite show there's a lot of work to be done. This winter (2018-2019) we are making new oars and doing some work on modifying features of Steedie to improve our rowing performance for the Skiffie Worlds in July 2019. We do this work at Prestongrange Museuem (thanks to East Lothian Council) . |
