Team WinTech & King had another fantastic weekend at the 2023 USRowing Summer National Championships. Held on Lake Harsha in Bethel, Ohio, the event catered to Juniors on the front half and U23/Senior on the back half from across the USA, with RowAmerica Rye claiming the overall points trophy. With 33 boat entries, they earned 22 medals throughout the weekend. All in all, WinTech & King enjoyed a phenomenal weekend, earning 19 victories alongside a further 32 minor medals to complete a 51-medal haul.
Ten of those wins came courtesy of RowAmerica Rye, whose golds included the women’s U17 quads, doubles and singles, the women’s U16 eights and coxed fours, the men’s youth coxed fours, the men’s U17 eights, quads, and singles plus the men’s U16 coxed fours. Additionally, the boat club from Rye, New York also stacked up several silver and bronze medals, including the women’s youth quads, coxed fours, coxless fours (both silver and bronze), women’s U17 eights and coxed fours, women’s U16 coxed fours and men’s youth quads.
Penn AC Rowing Association went on to take the men’s youth eights title, beating out boats from TBC racing and a US selection development group. Nevertheless, all three of these crews were racing in King SE 8+ shells!
Penn AC Rowing Association claimed several more wins in King & WinTech shells, climbing atop the podium in the men’s U23 lightweight coxed four and women’s open pair. California Rowing Club also won all three events they entered in WinTech boats, namely the men’s open single, double, and quad. Ready Set Row won the women’s U23 single as well, along with a silver in the women’s youth single, whilst the US selection development group claimed victory in the women’s open eight. Penn AC Rowing Association were silver medallists in the latter category.
The US Selection Development Team also made their presence felt by securing a few medals of their own. Namely, a pair of golds in the Women’s U17 eight and Women’s Open eight as well as a pair of bronzes in the Women’s Youth eight and Women’s U23 eight .
Other podium placements came from clubs including Oakland Strokes with their pair of silvers in the men’s youth pair and coxless four, CJRC with their silver in the men’s open lightweight eight and women’s U16 eight, Uni-Team USA with their pair of bronzes in the women’s U23 pair and men’s U23 eight, and Long Beach with their bronze in the women’s open single.

I didn't think I needed new oarlocks, but maybe my old ones had gotten soft over the years. I do feel a firmer and more self-assured "clunk" when I get to the catch.
I ordered 11.5 because they didn't have an 11, which I didn't think would be a problem, but the heel sliced into the interior of my WinTech Cobra 1x hull and left a little smile there in the carbon. There is no left-and-right play, like Bont shoes have, for adjustment, so I cannot move them. I could put them higher on my foot plate, but that would change my gearing, which I don't want to do. Waste of money for me.
Hi Joseph,
As we mentioned in our reply to your email the other day, different shoes from different manufacturers often times require some form of adjustment during installation in order to fit the new shoes properly into the boat. No two manufacturers are exactly the same when it comes to shoes, so an 11.5 from one manufacturer may fit your foot just as well as the 11 you originally had. However, the shoe may sit lower on the foot stretcher because the hole positioning on the bottom of the shoe is slightly is different from the previous pair. It is strongly recommended to check the clearance between the shoe and the bottom of the footwell when installing new shoes to prevent damage like this from happening. Again, as we mentioned in our reply the other day, we are more than happy to assist you in making those adjustments, as well as to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to respond to our email or reach out via the information below. Thanks again!
