Look after your Cox Competition - Win a Coxmate SCT with GPS

Friday, February 8th, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

We are running a competition open to anyone resident in the UK to win a Coxmate SCT with GPS.

"Look after your Cox"  will run until Sunday March 9th, 2008. 

All you have to do is tell us the BEST and WORST things a coxswain has ever said to you and your crew or, if you are a cox, the BEST and WORST things you've said to a crew.

The 'Look after your Cox' Competition is open to everyone with an interest in Rowing, whether Coxes, Rowers, or Coaches. All we want to know is the best and worst thing a Cox has ever been heard to say. Inspiring or de-motivating comments, funny anecdotes or bad tempered rants would be great!

Enter the Rowperfect Prize Draw and you could win a Coxmate SCT Cox Box kit with a GPS sensor worth £600. 

The top 3 entries with the most votes will win. 

First prize: Coxmate SCT with GPS

Second prize: Rock The Boat coxswain hoodie (in your choice of size and colour)

Third prize: The Down and Dirty Guide to Coxing by George Kirschbaum

Rowperfect main bars now in stock

Friday, February 8th, 2008

We have a couple of customers whose main bars from their Rowperfect Rowing Simulators have worn out.

The bars are for sale here and cost £95 plus postage.

Please note that you'll need to keep the bolt and 10mm nut that holds the bar onto the front and back leg from your previous bar because they aren't sold with the bar (but with the legs!)

Ed Green from Molesey BC asked

What is the likely reason for it splitting!?
 

The reason for splitting is just use, wear and tear.  From memory, the MBC Rowperfect is about 10 years old and this is normal for that length of use.   We are glad that it's still in good nick and being used by the club coaches and athletes.
