Rowperfect UK has been appointed agent for Burnham Boat who make fabulous padded bags for storing your rowing equipment.  Many of you will have seen their single scull boat bags which have a red flag integrated into the stern and are made of fabric called "Sunbrella" which resists the deteriorating effect of the sun's ultraviolet radiation on the hull of your boat.  

Each cover is made to closely fit your boat and can be used while the boat is rigged - perfect if you store yours outside.  More detail is on this page or in the shop Accessories section for pricing.

Additionally we are stocking their rigger and oar bags.

Tideway Scullers School coach Bill Barry has dreamed up a fabulous crew to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the club entering crews to the Head of the River Race.   The club was formed by top scullers who competed against each other for national squad places and traditionally formed an eight for the Head out of the top 8 fastest single scullers.

Taking this as his inspiration, Bill has chosen a crew from the fastest 7 scullers in the World at last year's Beijing Olympic Games.

His crew will be:

Cox - Ali Williams

Stroke Iztok Čop , Slovenia

7 Ondřej Synek , Czech Republic

6 Olaf Tufte , Norway

5 Mahe Drysdale , New Zealand

4 Marcel Hacker , Germany

3 Lassi Karonen , Sweden

2 Alan Campbell , Great Britain

Bow Tim Mayens , Belgium

Rowperfect UK was approached to support the crew and will be providing Dreher Apex Sweeps and a Coxmate SCT with GPS for the race.  We hope to publish the race data and split times / speeds / distance moved per stroke afterwards as a record of the event.
