Na Sceirí
Skerries – a fishing town with Nordic links
Skerries is a small seaside fishing town in Fingal. The name comes from the Norse word ‘skere’ which became the Irish ‘na sceirí’ which means ‘the rocks’. Historically, Skerries was an active fishing port while in the 20th century, it became a resort town, and a dormitory town for Dublin commuters.

Round Rockabill Rowing Race
Our annual 'Row the Rock' challenge
Organised by Skerries Rowing Club, the ‘Round Rockabill Rowing Race’ is a gruelling, 15km race into open sea for any coxed sea going boat with either sliding or fixed seat. The event brings rowing clubs from all over Ireland to our beautiful coastline.
Spectators have a perfect, unobstructed view of the event from the south beach, where crews launch with a beach sprint, jump into their boats and row out the 7.5km to the Rockabill lighthouse. Once rounded, the crews will need to row back the same way for a beach sprint finish across the line.
- 15 km in open sea
- Open to any coxed sea-going boat
- Beach sprint start and finish
Partners and Sponsorship
A huge "Thank you" to all our supporters!

Testimonials
Words from our Members
Skerries Rowing Club provides...
… a unique opportunity to members. The diversity of the club is great and the comradery between members is superb. The weekly rows can take you around the islands to coastal which is uniquely diverse. The adventure of long rows is also unique and something I really look forward to, the ’Round Rockabill Row’ in particular. In essence, my life would be very different should I not be involved.
