The construction of the 2nd Coastal Rowing Skiff by Blyth Community Rowing Club, in conjunction with Blyth Academy, has only been under way for 6 weeks but great progress has been made in this time. The students of Blyth Academy have shown keen interest in developing the skills needed to build a 22ft, sea going, oar powered craft. The last build session before the Easter break saw planks 5 & 6 attached to the frame, with only 6 more planks to complete the 1st phase of the construction of the skiff before the internal fit out.
