Robukta

Robukta is one of the bays at 'Sydspissen', the south tip of Tromsøya, a little east of Telegrafbukta. Several locals have told me that it is named Robukta, because there once was a rowing club there. However, it seems to be decades ago that this rowing club closed down. I have found little information about the old rowing club on the web other than that it was started in 1920.

I am hoping to find more information. More so, I would very much like the new Tromsø Roklubb to become located at Robukta. It is one of the best locations in Tromsø for a rowing club. The water one the south and west side of Tromsøya is well shielded against the wind by Kvaløy. Also, the sea current is less intense than in Tromsøy Sundet, which is important when training new rowers. In addition, the surroundings are simply very beautiful there.
