Support Muckross
The club keeps going thanks to the volunteers, coaches, families and local businesses behind it.
The real cost of keeping crews on the water
Running a rowing club takes a lot of work behind the scenes, and the day-to-day costs add up quickly.
- Petrol for the safety launches that follow every crew, plus insurance.
- Electricity and water bills that keep the boathouse open year-round.
- Upkeep of the old and new boathouses and the pontoons.
Then there's the equipment itself. Boat repairs, replacement oars, new ergometers and eventually new racing shells from Filippi or training gear from Concept2 .
Membership fees cover only part of it. Every donation and sponsorship helps keep Muckross competing at the highest level.
