GalleGalleons

— Home Crew of The Fort Exchange —

One of six founding franchises in Sri Lanka's first-ever franchise-based rowing championship — and the League's only fully women-owned franchise.

The Vision

To establish Galle Galleons as Sri Lanka's most recognisable and best-run rowing franchise — a team that Galle's rowing heritage, NCINGA's ambitions, and a new generation of athletes can all rally behind.

RACE

Compete to win on the water, with a disciplined, well-managed squad across all four boat classes.

RUN

Run the franchise properly as a business, pairing rowing expertise with strong operations from day one.

BUILD

Build a long-term brand asset for NCINGA — one that eventually connects to The Fort Exchange.

OPEN

Open doors: into competitive rowing for young athletes, and into NCINGA itself through the internship pipeline.

What We Stand For

Three words, on the water and off it.

Grit

The boldness to build a first-season franchise from nothing, and race hard against five established rivals from day one.

Crew

No rower wins alone. The boat only moves when everyone pulls together — on the water, and in how the franchise is run.

Groundedness

Discipline and intention in training, budget, and brand. Doing things properly, not just quickly.

The Crew Behind the Crew

Two seats, one boat.

In a coxless pair, the bow seat steers the boat and the stroke seat sets the rate. Galle Galleons is run the same way.
