Team WinTech had another successful day at the Munich International Junior Regatta last weekend, taking home four medals across various categories and nationalities.
On the GB side, Marcus Chute continued our strong momentum with The Windsor Boys School to secure gold in the Junior Men’s Single Scull. Racing in a Cobra, Marcus took victory by three seconds over Cornelius Conrad of Dresdner Ruder-Club 1902 e.V. He also doubled up to win bronze in the Junior Men’s Quad Scull. Marcus will now have his eyes firmly set on competing for Great Britain at the Junior World Championships this summer alongside claiming various domestic titles.

Megan Knight, who plies her trade at Trentham Boat Club domestically, took a fantastic silver medal in the Women’s Single Scull, finishing 14 seconds back on Lina Kuhn of the Swiss Rowing Federation. Meg, who recently secured a scholarship to Stanford University in the autumn, is also a World Virtual Indoor Rowing Champion. She rowed to a silver medal in a WinTech Cobra.
We also had two medallists crews amongst the German contingent. Lena Kirchner took the overall win in the Women’s Lightweight Single Scull on both days, beating out a number of her country’s women and a sculler from Austria. She was racing in a WinTech and we look forward to watching her progress this season.

The final medal came from the German Women’s eight; Germany actually took gold, silver and bronze but the winning crew came home in a WinTech. With traditional strength in the bigger boats, these girls will undoubtedly have their sights set on strong performances throughout the remainder of the season.
WinTech are delighted to support the cutting edge of European rowing talent and look forward to enabling these fantastically talented young men and women as they progress towards silverware.

The tracks arrived in 2 days from east coast to west coast. The online store was really easy to use. The old tracks were 5 years old and the new ones were so easy to install. The kids love the boat with the new tracks and wheels.
I turn 80 in a couple of weeks. We’ve lived in the FL Keys the last eight years. It was difficult to get to good rowing water so we kept the boats, two 16’ Aldens and two 24’ Win Tech Explorers bagged and hung up. A year ago we moved. AWESOME lake. While I rowed the more stable Aldens I was afraid my old body wouldn’t make it back into my 24 if/when I rolled it. Lisa spotted the “training wheels” and they are a game changer. We’ve had a couple of good rowing days last week. I feel safe and no longer worried about rolling it. I’m big and old so the idea of “ training wheels” doesn’t bother me. I’ve lived and rowed in Alaska and on Cold New England days. I’ve gotten back in the boat but these days I’m rowing my “big boat” and loving it again. Thanks WinTech for a great solution!
