How good to hear from you again. We would be pleased to let you try the new MK1 Evolution and also some Dreher High Modulus Apex REX sculls. If you are going to Northampton, why don’t you call by Cambridge on the way (!) and pick them up?

I can mail you the MK1 oarlocks to your address and you’ll have two weeks to give them a good trial. Would you write us a review of your findings?

We can re-sleeve Crokers, but you have to first buy the sleeves from the Croker agent. He won’t supply them to us. But if you can get them - drop them off after the Northampton regatta and take the Drehers to try out then you won’t be without sculls while we do them for you.

Give us a call to confirm.

Best wishes

I used to have MK1s on my old boat 2 years ago. 06-07 I was stuck in a crewboat but have come back to sculling last summer. As you might have seen at Norwich Head my new boat has no MKs at the moment. That is mainly because that was the way it came but having lost big in the croatia open in early spring due to some mini crabs with worn sleeves suggested that another try of MKs could be beneficial.
I will be going to twickenham, northampton on the WE around the 25th, and then walton, peterborough, marlow, reading, marlow again, then i wont qualify for HRR, and so on in the single.
I will be going to croatia after the royal probably so i could flash them around there, too and I will put it on my website thomasmertz.com as soon as the re design is up.
If you are interested let me know!

p.s. On some really old rsr threat i have read that you could resleeve crokers? Id like to get an asymetrical one on mine since this half round current design drives me mad. Having prehistoric tools and no real boathouse here makes me reluctant to do it myself…

In fact why dont I just “test” some sweet apex rex for some weeks

PS I see Wadham has just bought some Dreher sculls - thanks for your custom!

Wadham College Mens first eight have been using the mark 1 gates for a couple of years so would be able to use the sweep gates under race conditions for cpmparative purposes.

Kind Regards

I will send you one pair of each to test at the address above.

You will have two weeks to try them out and then you can either buy them at a 5% discount or return them to us in the mail.

With best wishes
