麻豆约拍

B' e l脿 eachdraidheil a bh' ann ann an 1965 nuair a rinn Hamish Gow agus a bhean Anne a' ch霉is air a' chuairt chuain chunnartach de ch貌rr is ceathrad m矛le eadar na h-Eileanan an Iar agus eileanan iongantach Hiort ann an curach - a' chiad turas ann an curach a-riamh. 47 bliadhna as d猫idh sin anns an 脪gmhios 2012, bha dithis bhoireannach 脿 Club Churach Ste貌rnabhaigh air eilean Le貌dhais ag amas air a' chuairt eachdraidheil seo a dh猫anamh as 霉r.

A' cleachdadh nam planaichean t霉sail bhon chiad bh脿ta, chuir an Club air d貌igh gun t猫id mac-samhail mionaideach den churach dh霉bailte fhiodha is chanabhais a thogail le Aonghas Mac a' Ghobhainn 脿 Le貌dhas a th' air iomadh b脿ta a thogail. Ach leis an togail a' t貌iseachadh anns a' Ch猫itean bha an 霉ine gann.

Hiort agus Clann-nighean nan Curach- sgeulachd iongantach mu sgioba a tha ag amas air d脿n-chuairt chuain eachdraidheil a dh猫anamh as 霉r, agus an sgeulachd th霉sail air a h-innse tro agallamh, agus seann dheilbh is film.

In 1965, Scottish couple Hamish and Anne Gow created history when they became the first kayakers to make the treacherous 40 plus mile sea journey from the Western Isles to the mystical islands of St. Kilda. 47 years later, and in June 2012, two women from the Stornoway Canoe Club on the Isle of Lewis, Dolina Swanson and Christine Stewart, attempted to re-create this historic voyage.

Armed with the original boat plans, the club commissioned the experienced Lewis boat builder, Angus Smith, to re-create the original plywood and canvas Clyde double kayak - a far cry from the modern kayaks of today. With the build starting in May, time wasn't on their side.
