Rowperfect UK Limited was founded in 1991 by Harry Mahon the legendary NZ
rowing coach and Tony Brook World Gold medallist to import Rowperfect
rowing simulators into the UK for the first time in 1998. Harry was
coaching the GB 8 in preparation for the Sydney Olympic Games at the
time and he was quickly convinced that the Rowperfect would help him
achieve the best possible results from the crew. They were not the
strongest athletes in the GB squad as the 4- and 2- were ahead on the
selection rankings. But he thought that if they rowed with technical
excellence and a common power application and force curves, he could
overcome their strength shortcomings and create a fast crew of skilled
boat-movers. They won a Gold Medal.
In 2001 Grant Craies joined Tony and started to use Rowperfect with
his crews at Tideway Scullers School . Later, Rebecca Caroe also joined
and Tony left the business. Since then the range of products has
expanded; books and a DVD have been added to the product range and the
Rowperfect website is gaining a reputation as a place for coaches to
find educational resources and new ideas to help them build their own
skills.
