Rowing shell : competition double scull
Sykes
Most recently, our Mould 23 was used by Drew Ginn and James Tomkins to win the M2- at the 1999, 2003 and 2004 World Championships and then Ginn and Duncan Free in 2006 and 2007.
One of our most internationally successful boats at all levels of competition from LWT 2- to HWT2-x. When first designed by Jeff Sykes in 1988 it was considered too narrow and unstable due to its semi circular shape for HWT use. However the success of the design at LWT level and in double sculling soon led to a change of heart and this mould has now won World and Olympic Gold in both 2- and 2x for men and women at HWT and LWT levels. Considered by many to be the finest 2-x design used in World Competition.
Mould 13 is suitable for crews 59-75kg while mould 23 is for crews 80 – 105 kgs.
