Skiffs are hand-crafted traditional wooden sculling (rowing) boats, built either as singles or doubles which are steered by a cox. As well as social skiffing and longer distance trips we also race at regattas through out the summer. Come along and learn to row in a skiff, not only is it great fun, it is a sociable and low cost sport, suited to all ages and abilities.

Dittons Skiff and Punting Club runs a busy and fun junior section every Sunday morning from 9.50 am. Children from age 9 upwards are very welcome. Ages 9 to 10 learn to row in fibreglass dinghies. From age 11 they transfer to learning to row in skiffs. They are also taught the skills required to cox (steer) a boat as well as building up river safety knowledge. Over the summer months river conditions permitting we also offer punting as an option to the juniors on a Sunday morning.
