To be released by early July 2009, the improved Coxmate SRT+ plus has the features of the SRT Coxmate and improved the screen size and added new functions.

A few facts about it:

• It has larger backlit display; shows rate, stroke count and time.
• Like predecessor it has digital amplifier – gives ~60% more run time than other designs
• Has real time clock and alarm function – can be set to remind crews the start is imminent!
• Comes with adaptor for NK ‘cup’ and articulated bracket.
• Has mute feature on audio
• Has recall of time intervals (virtually unlimited number) and rate for one hour – can be recalled in 15 or 30 second increments
• Has metronome function
• Has connector for radio input
• The battery can be replaced in less than 2 minutes – once the unit is open, there is no tape or screws to be removed  in order to replace battery

The Rowperfect shop will start selling the SRT+ Plus on 1 July 2009.

There will be two options for the mounting into the boat - an articlated bracket with a NK cup adapter with manual plug-in for the speaker wiring loom OR a magnetic connection on the articulated bracket.

The prestigious USA IRA Championships Regatta was won by the University of Washington.  Their coaching adviser, Carlos Dinares, bought five second hand Rowperfects from us earlier this year.  He told us that the crew had been exclusively training on the Ropwerfects.  They also did testing and selection on the RP.

He also coaches Ursula Grobler who rows in the Spanish national LW2x crew.

He brought the crew over to race Oxford University during their preparation for the Boat Race on the Tideway in London.  Here's a video of that race . 

Carlos says

Thank you to you Rebecca and Grant. We won the National Championship and Ursula got a silver medal at the World Cup in Banyoles.
Thank you for helping me,

Carlos Dinares
