http://www.ourcs.org.uk A RSS feed of the OURCs old members board forum en-us Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:30:00 +0000 webmaster@ourcs.org.uk just wondering if any college has a good quality quad which would be able to loan/rent to london rowing club for their top boat. this crew would include various world championships/olympic medalists. please reply to robbiejwilliams@hotmail.com regards Paul Mattick Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:08:24 +0000 paul.mattick@hertford.oxon Fluidesign boats are an up and coming brand, which are very popular throughout the USA/Canada and are becoming more popular in the UK and europe. They offer a international standard alternative to Empacher and Filippi at a much reduced price- see the website at http://www.fluidesignuk.com/index.html for more details and to place an order. There is a shipment of boats coming into the UK (they are Canadian based) in december and other regular shipments throughout the year. They primarily sell sculling boats, being the boat in which Zac Purchase (co-director of Fluidesign UK) set the world record in 6:47 (eton 2006) and numerous Oxford Uni rowing squad members use them. In addition we have pairs and fours (as well as doubles and quads) and are interested in developing an eight. The international boat has a clear resin over the single skin carbon fibre (hence is black but can be tinted) whereas the very economical club level EL boat is manufacture of exactly the same material but has paint rather than resin (the EL single is £1500 cheaper and approximately 1.5kg heavier, but still is under FISA minimum). To have a trial of a single scull please contact paul or zac through the website Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:32:52 +0000 paul.mattick@hertford.oxon The Oxford Academicals mens squad are looking for a coach to bring on our squad through the winter.
