The boathouse, which was officially opened by the Lord Provost of Glasgow in May 1997, is located in Silverfir Place on the south bank of the River Clyde, just along from Shawfield Stadium.

In the 2004 UK National Rowing Championships in Nottingham member Lindsay Dick won the women's single sculls event, while her fellow member and partner Alastair Warnock won the equivalent men's event.

[6] Warnock also made good progress in the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta that year, with one particularly noteworthy scalp in the first round,[7] only to be beaten in the semi-final[8] by the eventual winner of the event.

Lindsay Dick won a Bronze medal at the 2006 World Rowing Championships at Dorney Lake in the Women's Lightweight Quadruple Sculls.

[9][10] At Henley Royal Regatta in 2009 the club set a precedent for Scottish rowing clubs [11][12] by having crews race in quarter-finals of two different events (the Britannia Challenge Cup and the Wyfold Challenge Cup), although neither crew progressed to the semi-final stage.
