Tonks changed her from a sweep rower to a sculler and placed her in a women's quadruple scull. The four, which included Sarah Gray, Fiona Bourke and Louise Trappitt, surprised themselves by winning bronze at the regattas in Hamburg (Germany) and Lucerne (Switzerland). They maintained their form and won a bronze at the 2011 World Rowing Championships at Lake Bled in Bled, Slovenia.
Henry Robert Pearce (30 September 1905 – 20 May 1976) was an Australian three- time world champion sculler of the 1920s and 1930s. He won consecutive Olympic gold medals in the single sculls at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam and the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He won the World Sculling Championship in 1933, and twice successfully defended that title in 1934 and 1938. He was a three-time Australian national champion and won the Diamond Sculls at the 1931 Henley Royal Regatta.
Towns won but this limited his prospects of racing other local professionals. So, on the strength of the win, his Newcastle backers were encouraged to think of sending him to England to try to improve and then take the World Title. This was a fairly daring proposition for a comparatively untried sculler but nonetheless money was raised to allow it to happen. The Sydney sporting papers described Towns as the "coming man", by which they expected he was good enough to take the title.
David Palfreyman's commenced his association with the Mercantile Rowing Club in Melbourne as a coxswain at aged thirteen coaching veteran crews. He is the grandson of Cecil McVilly, a sculler who in 1912 was the first rower to represent Australia at an Olympic games.McV-P pin at Hear The Boat Sing He first made state selection for Victoria coxing the 1960 state lightweight four contesting the Penrith Cup at the Interstate Regatta. He coxed another Victorian crew who won the Penrith Cup in 1962.
But more importantly, fellow German Naske came sixth in that race meaning that Zeidler was then selected as the German single sculling representative for the 2018 World Rowing Championships. He made the A-final at the 2018 World Championships but finished in overall sixth place. 2019 would be Zeidler's break-out year as a single-sculler. He took gold at the European Championships, won a gold medal at the World Cup II in Poznan and then placed 13th at the WRC III in Rotterdam.
Cameron made his Australian representative debut at the age of eighteen at the 1992 Junior World Rowing Championships in Montreal in an Australian junior coxless pair in which he took second place and won a silver medal. In 1995 he was selected as Australia's single sculler to contest the 1995 U23 World Rowing Championships in Groningen. He finished in twelfth place. For the 1996 Atlanta Olympics Cameron was Australia's selected single scull and coached by Harald Jahrling he competed and finished in thirteenth place.
In 1936 Australian Olympic Federation funding was scarce. The NSW Police Rowing Club eight which dominated the Sydney club season and the New South Wales state championship was selected in toto as Australia's men's eight to compete at the 1936 Berlin Olympics with their attendance wholly funded by the NSW Police Federation. Cecil Pearce was the selected single sculler and Herb Turner picked for the double. The selectors picked Dixon as the reserve sweep-oarsman and asked him to row the double-scull with Turner.
The precise reasons are unclear but undoubtedly a clash with Julius Beresford was partly at the root: the two coaches, despite holding similar views on technique, were unable to get on. Under Beresford, Thames won four events at Henley in both 1927 and 1928, something which no club replicated in the 20th century. At the same time, Thames was home to Britain’s greatest ever single sculler. Jack Beresford (son of Julius) took Silver at the 1920 Amsterdam Olympics in an epic race with Jack Kelly, before going one better with Gold at Paris in 1924.
This action was controversial but Beach thus was the only World Champion sculler of his era to retire undefeated – the next was in 1938. His seven wins out of seven races in the event was unique. Hanlan also gained seven wins but that was from twelve races. The next closest was Richard Arnst who had six wins in eight races. On the Parramatta River on 27 November 1888 in a race with Hanlan for £500 a side, Beach won by three lengths in the presence of 5000 spectators.
"Professional Champion Sculler of the World" Searle as caricatured by Spy (Leslie Ward) in Vanity Fair, September 1889 After failing to get a match with the former World Champion Ned Hanlan, Searle challenged the then champion Peter Kemp. On 27 October 1888 the match took place on the Parramatta River. The usual £500 a side was at stake as well as the Title. At the start Searle took the lead and although Kemp made great efforts he could never overtake the leader who won by about twenty lengths in a time of 22m.44s.
Searle was a great sculler; no stylist, he had a powerful action characterized by perfect boat control; he trained much harder than was usual and could break opponents with sudden, repeated and sustained bursts of speed. He was 5 ft 10 ins (178 cm) tall, rowed at 11 stone 9 lbs. (74 kg), but weighed 13 stone 3 lbs. (84 kg) when out of training; his measurements were: chest 41½ ins (105 cm), biceps 13½ ins (34 cm), forearm 11 ins (28 cm), thigh 22 ins (56 cm) and calf 16 ins (41 cm).
By 1916, Kelly was a national champion and the best sculler in the United States when, as part of the World War I call up, Kelly joined United States Army as a private in October 1917. He rose to the rank of lieutenant when he was discharged in April 1919. While in the army, he entered the armed forces boxing tournament as a heavyweight and ran up a 12–0 record before being waylaid by a broken ankle. Future world professional boxing champion Gene Tunney won the tournament.
Pearce's father, Henry J "Harry, Jr" Pearce Jr., was an Australian sculling champion and challenged for the world championship twice (in 1911 and 1913), losing to Richard Arnst (NZL) and Ernest Barry (GBR) respectively. One of Pearce's aunts was a New South Wales swimming champion. Pearce's uncle Sandy Pearce, was a national rugby league representative inducted into that sport's Australian Hall of Fame. Sandy's sons (Bobby's cousins) were Cecil a sculler, who represented for Australia at the 1936 Summer Olympics and Sid Pearce who also played rugby league for Australia.
Richards took up rowing in the 1920s with the Winnipeg Rowing Club and won his first Canadian national championship in the double sculls in 1928, alongside his cousin Elswood Bole. They defended their crown the following year and were selected to represent Canada at the 1930 British Empire Games, where they captured a gold medal. They also won the Northwestern International Rowing Association's doubles titles that year in Kenora, Ontario. Richards had his first international success as a single sculler in 1931, when he won the Northwestern title in that category in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Jana Sorgers (married name Jana Sorgers-Rau, born 4 August 1967) is a German rower who was a dominant sculler of her time, starting her career for the East German rowing team and continuing after the German reunification for the combined Germany for a few more years. Between 1986 and 1996, she won two Olympic gold medals, seven world championship titles, and nine national titles. Upon the conclusion of her successful career, she was awarded the Thomas Keller Medal by the International Rowing Federation (FISA) – the highest honour in rowing.
They failed to make the A final and finished in overall ninth place. Day carried on rowing at the elite world level in 1993 and raced in a double scull at the 1993 World Rowing Championships with the stalwart Australian champion sculler Peter Antonie. They won their heat but a bad row in the semi-final had them finish fourth and sent to the B final which they won, for an overall seventh-place finish. In 1994 he raced as the Australian single sculls representative at the World Championships in Indianapolis.
Some of the earlier Title holders, for example Bill Beach, had had numerous challenges to their position but it would seem that nobody was of the opinion that they could beat Towns and no matches were arranged until 1904. Richard Tresidder of Australia, a sculler who was later (1907) Champion of Australia, thought otherwise and challenged. The match was run on 30 July on the Parramatta River. As this was the first Championship match held in Sydney since 1892 great interest was taken by the public and large crowds we on hand to watch proceedings.
Boissevain received his degree as a doctor of medecine from the University of Amsterdam. After graduation he spent two years doing postgraduate work in Switzerland and a further two years at the Pasteur Institute in Brussels, Belgium. As a young man in Holland, Boissevain had been a champion sculler and an ice skater (elfstedentocht 1917), but these activities were curtailed when he contracted tuberculosis. At the advice of his doctors, he moved to the United States in 1923 and made his way to the Colorado mountains in search of relief.
At his first Olympic Games, in 2004, Drysdale was part of the New Zealand coxless four team that finished fifth. Drysdale was officially selected as New Zealand's Olympic heavyweight sculler for the Beijing Olympics on 7 March 2008. He was also chosen to carry the flag for New Zealand during the parade of nations in the opening ceremony. Unfortunately for Drysdale, a severe gastrointestinal infection in the week before his final saw him off form and he was only able to win the bronze medal in the men's single scull.
Oxford were stroked by Phoebe White, an Under-23 international sculler. Oxford initially took the lead but were overtaken by Cambridge after a minute who were warned by the umpire for taking Oxford's water. Cambridge increased their lead and won by lengths in a time of 6 minutes 10 seconds taking the cumulative wins to 31 to Cambridge and 17 for Oxford. The Cambridge reserve boat won by lengths in a time of 6 minutes 22 seconds taking the cumulative wins to 16 for Cambridge and 6 for Oxford.
Although Kolbe has more Olympic and World Championship medals than any other single sculler in history, he never won an Olympic gold medal. Twice, in 1976 and 1984, Kolbe had the lead the entire race, only to be passed in the last few meters of the race by Karppinen. Kolbe and Karppinen did not face each other in the 1980 Games because West Germany chose to boycott the games to protest the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Karppinen and Kolbe faced each other one last time at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
George Brown (February 7, 1839 at Herring Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada - July 8, 1875) was a champion single sculler and for five years in a row won the $150 Belt offered by the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. He was regarded as one of the greatest long distance scullers in the world. He was the winner of the Cogswell Belt race from 1864 to 1868. He died on July 8, 1875, and is buried in St. John's Cemetery, Halifax, where there is a plaque in recognition of his rowing accomplishments.
Fairbairn was an early proponent of training his crews to slide in their seats to facilitate leg-drive. He had realised that the secret to world-champion sculler Ned Hanlan's uncanny successes was not that he rowed a longer stroke, but rather that he used his legs to great effect during the stroke. He was also an advocate of fitting longer slides into boats to better allow the use of the legs. Fairbairn's observations led him to develop a revolutionary rowing style featuring concurrent use of the legs, back and arms at the catch.
On 8 May 1879, Hawdon rowed against Canadian sculler Ned Hanlan on the River Tyne for a prize of £400. The odds were five to two on Hanlan, Hanlan won the toss for position and took, the north side, which gave him shelter for the first half mile. At the end of the first hundred yards Hanlan had drawn a length ahead and a little further on was fully a length clear, with ease improving his position. By the first quarter mile mark, it look apparent that Harlen was going to win easily.
Her mother, Lisa Hansen, was also an Olympic rower, competing in the women's coxed quadruple sculls at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. Her father, Gregg Stone, was the top U.S. single sculler in 1980 and would have been an Olympian himself if the U.S. had not boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Both of her parents were members of the U.S. National Rowing Team. When Gevvie was in high school, her mother Lisa coached her along with her high school team at the Winsor School, and Lisa continues to be Winsor's rowing coach today.
Searle did not have any Title defences in Australia but went to England where he defeated a Canadian challenger, William Joseph O'Connor, on the Thames River in 1889. As Searle was returning on a ship to Australia he contacted typhoid fever and died in Melbourne in December 1889. Peter Kemp then reclaimed the World Title on the grounds that he was the best living sculler and had been the immediate past world champion. O'Conner also laid claim to the Title on the basis that he was the last challenger.
Philippa June Baker (born 12 June 1963), now known by her married name Philippa Baker-Hogan, is a former New Zealand rower and politician. She was the first New Zealand woman to win a gold medal at World Rowing Championships and won gold at world championships on two more occasions. She has twice represented New Zealand at the Olympics. She has received numerous awards for her rowing success and in 2012, she and fellow double sculler Brenda Lawson were inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame.

Rooney Massara, who went on to compete in the 1972 Munich Olympics, was the sculler in the river in the "walkabout" scene by the river at Kew (uncredited). Kenneth Haigh appeared as an advertising executive who mistakes George for a "new phenomenon." David Langton also made a cameo appearance as an actor in the dressing room scene. Mal Evans, one of the Beatles' road managers, also appears briefly in the film—moving an upright bass through a tight hallway as Lennon talks with the woman who mistakes him for someone else.
In 2013 Simmonds moved into the Australian lightweight double scull with Alice McNamara. They raced at the World Rowing Cup I in Sydney and then at the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju, they missed the A final and placed overall seventh. In 2014 Simmonds was in contention for various lightweight sculling crews.

Seeking employment and better opportunities than their native land offered, Rush and his brother John emigrated in 1860, arriving in Sydney in February 1861 per Hotspur, as assisted immigrants. The brothers at first worked in Camperdown for their uncle Michael McGrath, a retail (or ‘cutting’) butcher, who sponsored their immigration. McGrath's brother, Thomas McGrath, was a Champion Sculler of the Colony of New South Wales. Rush then spent some months as a drover in southern New South Wales, while his brother John, taking advantage of the new Crown Lands Act took up a selection on the Lower Clarence River in 1863.
This race was one of the better ones as for most of the distance there was little between them. The racing was close and exciting and approaching the finishing post both boats were almost bow to bow. Beach put in a final terrific effort and increased his advantage and won amidst wild excitement by the spectators. Charles Amos Messenger – Champion Sculler of Victoria, former opponent and later coach of Bill BeachOne indicator of how thrilled the residents of Double Bay were at Bill Beach's win against Hanlan was the testimonial presentation to his coach, Charles Amos Messenger.
The first girl to row within the A.P.S. was a lone sculler from Geelong Grammar in 1972. There were 32 girls rowing by 1975, and in 1981, girls began competing at the Senior Regatta with Geelong Grammar, Geelong College, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Morongo Girls' College and Lauriston racing in 1st and 2nd Fours over 800m. Methodist Ladies' College, and Carey joined in 1982, with Carey boating a First Four in 1983. 1984 was the final year that non APS school girls participated in the APS Head of the River, with seven girls' crews rowing in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Four events.
Britta Oppelt (born 5 July 1978) is a German Olympic-medal winning sculler. Oppelt was born in Berlin, and competed in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, in the double sculls, and took home the silver medal along with teammate Peggy Waleska. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she was on the German quadruple sculls team that won the silver medal, along with Annekatrin Thiele, Carina Bär and Julia Richter. In 2008, she was part of the German quadruple sculls team that won the bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics, along with Manuela Lutze, Kathrin Boron and Stephanie Schiller.
When Canadian sculler Joseph Wright began coaching at Penn in 1916, he discovered that he had a number of smaller but excellent oarsmen. His idea of creating a crew composed entirely of these lighter weight rowers--averaging 150 pounds per man--quickly spread to other institutions, and by 1919 the American Rowing Association officially recognized competition in lightweight rowing by 150-pounders in eight-oared shells. The initial weight difference between lightweights and heavyweights of that era--about 20 pounds--was not particularly substantial. In fact, lightweight rowers weights were much closer to the heavyweight crews of that era than they are now.
Beresford initially sculled at Kensington Rowing Club in Hammersmith with some success, winning many trophies although failing in attempts at the Wingfield Sculls in 1902 and 1903Wingfield Sculls Record of Races and in the London Cup at the Metropolitan Regatta. By 1904 he had decided that he had reached his limits as a single sculler and moved to Thames Rowing Club in order to row seriously in crew boats. He remained a member of Thames for the rest of his life. In 1909 and 1911, he was in the crew that won the Stewards Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta.
A few weeks later at the 2005 World Rowing Championships in Gizu, Japan Mills rowed in the women's eight to a gold medal and a world championship title. Having won the Australian double sculls championship in 2006, Mills was in contention for Australian representative selection as a sculler. She raced at World Rowing Cups I and II in the Australian women's quad and at the WRC II she also competed in a coxless pair with Catriona Sens and took bronze. She secured her two seat in the Australian quad for the 2006 World Rowing Championships at Eton Dorney who won a silver medal.
Although he'd made three Olympic appearances, Day's Australian representative career was not complete. He returned to the green and gold in 2003 at the World Rowing Cup III as a single sculler. Then in 2005 for the fourth time in his long national career he stepped back into the Australian quad scull, now with Craig Jones Chris Morgan and Trent Collins. In his last international campaign Day stroked the quad through a heat, repechage and semi to a fifth place in the B final for an overall eleventh placing at the 2005 World Rowing Championships in Gifu Japan.
Robert Norman Waddell (born 7 January 1975) is a New Zealand Olympic Gold Medalist and double World Champion Single sculler rower, and America's Cup yachtsman. He is a triple New Zealand Supreme 'Halberg Awards' Sportsperson of the year winner, 1998 to 2000. He holds the third fastest 2000 metre indoor rowing machine time in the world, clocking a time of 5 mins 36.6 secs (5:36.6), which was the previous world record for 19 years before the time was improved by Joshua Dunkley-Smith. He also held the record for 5000m on the rowing machine with a time of 14min 58sec.
Often when one sculler was beaten by another he was offered a return match to have the chance to get even – or, go two down. Stanbury offered Towns and they had another Championship race on the same course almost a year later on 28 July 1906. After the start Towns took an early lead but was soon overhauled by Stanbury who then continued to widen the gap until he was two lengths ahead but at Cabarita he started to show signs of distress. It was evident that his right shoulder was troubling him and about which rumours had been circulating.
Hemmerde was born at Peckham, south London, the son of James Godfrey Hemmerde and his wife Frances Hope.British Census 1881 RG11 0729/60 p1] His father was a bank manager with the Imperial Ottoman Bank. Hemmerde was educated at Winchester College and University College, Oxford. At Oxford he was a successful single sculler, and won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta in 1900, beating the previous winner American B H Howell.Henley Royal Regatta Results of Final Races 1839–1939 He was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in 1897 and established his law practice.
Bill seems to have been a very popular person on the Thames and was early on connected to Cambridge University Boat Club, to train and coach the crews. In 1904, he published the ‘how-to’ book Rowing and Sculling. Bill East coached Trinity Hall’s famous rower and sculler, the American Benjamin Hunting Howell to victories in the Wingfield Sculls in 1898 and 1899; the same years Howell also won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley-on-Thames. Like many other champion scullers he later in life became a publican. He ran the Prince’s Head hotel and then the Pigeon Hotel at Richmond.
The stake was the usual £500 a side plus each contestant was to get half the net gate which was expected to be a substantial amount. The race got underway despite a strong nor-west wind that was blowing. Hannan made a game effort to beat Arnst who was the stronger of the two and who won easily enough. Later it was reported that Hannan was a better sculler than the result might have indicated as had picked the wrong side of the course to his detriment, that his boat was too light for the conditions and it was incorrectly rigged.
He was selected for the Sydney Olympics in 2000 to compete in the lightweight double scull but broke his wrist in a freak training accident days before the Games were due to start. Until 2002 he was a sculler and he returned to sculling for the 2005 season, winning a bronze medal in the lightweight men's single scull at the Eton World Cup before finishing fourth at the Lucerne World Cup in July. He finished second in the lightweight men's single at the 2006 Great Britain Senior Selection Trials in Belgium. Male is an accomplished violinist.
There, he was down by two lengths at the 1,000 meter mark before he pressed on to a photo finish, beating Donald Spero, the best American single sculler, by a margin of inches. This earned him an entry at the European Rowing Championships in Duisburg, Germany where he placed 11th in the Men's Singles. In 1966 he won the men's 1/4 mile dash for singles at the U.S. Nationals. In the Championship Singles event he had placed second to Don Spero but was disqualified for cutting into the wrong lane on the Schuylkill course in Philadelphia.

The Aboriginal people, in this area, the Awabakal, were the first people of this land. Toronto was named after Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in honour of Edward Hanlan, a Canadian world-champion sculler who visited Australia in 1884. In 1885 the Excelsior Land, Investment and Building Co. and Bank Ltd acquired a portion of Threlkelds' original 1,280 acre grant from McMahon and Whiting plus the 100 ft waterfront reserve from the Crown for £13,722 and subdivided it in 1887. This subdivision coincided with the opening of the Great Northern Railway and became the basis of the future town of Toronto.
She competed in the single scull event for the first time at a World Cup event in Belgrade in May 2012, finishing in fifth place. At the Olympic qualification event in Lucerne, Switzerland, she placed second in her heat in order to make it through to the semi-final. After finishing third in the semi, she placed fourth in the final, giving Ireland a place in the women's single sculls competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She was selected for the Irish team at the Games as the country's only rowing competitor, and their first female single sculler since the 1980 Summer Olympics.
He also won the Wingfield Sculls for Argonaut Club. In 1857 the London Rowing Club competed at Henley and won the Grand Challenge Cup and the Stewards' Cup with Casamajor in the crews. Though primarily a sculler, Casamajor helped the club eight win the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley in 1857 and 1859 although on both occasions he showed extreme exhaustion. He won Diamonds in 1857, beating Paine in the final. In 1858, Casamajor won the Diamond Challenge sculls with a row over and won Silver Goblets with Playford when they beat Edmond Warre and Arthur Lonsdale in the final in 1858.
Kelly was born in Philadelphia on January 16, 1887. He was the second youngest of ten children born to Mary Ann (née Costello) and John Henry Kelly, Irish immigrants. He was the brother of American businessman and Olympic champion sculler John B. Kelly Sr. and the uncle of actress Grace Kelly, who became Princess consort of Monaco, and Olympic rower John B. Kelly Jr. Not much is known about his early life, but he was an actor in his early years. He did not like the dramatic material available during the turn of the century, and wanted to change that.
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Berkutov (; 21 May 1933 – 7 November 2012) was a Russian rower who had his best achievements in double sculls, paired with Yuriy Tyukalov. Together they won five consecutive European titles in 1956–61, the Henley Royal Regatta in 1957 and 1958, the Soviet title in 1957 and 1961, an Olympic gold medal in 1956, and an Olympic silver in 1960. Berkutov started as a single sculler, and in 1954 won the Soviet title and a bronze medal at the European Championships. Next year, facing strong competition from the rising star Vyacheslav Ivanov, he changed to doubles.
They raced at the World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne and then at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Eton Dorney where they finished fourth. In the Olympic year 2012 Kerry Hore was moved back into the quad and Pratley was given the opportunity to race the Australian women's double scull with Australia's prominent sculler Kim Crow. They raced in the lead-up at the World Rowing Cup III in Munich and then at the 2012 London Olympics they won their heat and raced to a silver medal in the final beaten out by the British double of Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger. It was Pratley's last Australian representative appearance.
Beach was said to have visited the sculler, Edward Trickett, but the date of his first race on Sydney Harbour is uncertain: the Illawarra Mercury, 1 February 1935, claimed 1875–76 but the Town and Country Journal, December 1881, recorded that he won the handicap skiff race for amateurs on Woolloomooloo Bay on the 24th. However, a New Zealand newspaper, the Otago Witness of 9 December 1887, claims his debut as an oarsman was in December 1880. It states that there followed several matches in the next few months. Among the donors of his £25 prize was the publican J. G. Deeble, who became his sponsor and claimed as his discoverer.
Murphy at World Rowing In 2018 Murphy was still eligible for U23 selection. As Australia's lightweight single sculler at the Rowing World Cup II in Lucerne he fought through the repechage to a sixth place final finish and then was picked to contest the U23 World Rowing Championships in Poznan where he took the bronze medal. In 2019 Murphy was selected to row Australia's lightweight single for the 2019 international season. In the finals at the World Rowing Cup II in Poznan and at the WRC III in Rotterdam, Murphy took leads at the 500m mark, was never headed and won two international gold medals.
Sweep rowers (one oar per person) and scullers (two oars, one in each hand) have similar stroke styles, with some differences to accommodate the number of oars held by the rower. The most notable difference is that the oar handles overlap in sculling at the midpoint of the drive, and again during the recovery. This requires the sculler to cross one hand over (left over right) and/or in front of the other hand to avoid the oar handles colliding. While sculling is a fully symmetrical movement (with exception of the handle overlap), sweep oar rowing is slightly asymmetrical and many rowers strongly prefer one side to the other.
Robertson was a member of the North Shore Rowing Club. He won the first of his six Premier Redcoat National Rowing titles in the coxless pair with Mike Stanley in 1979. Perhaps his most impressive victory was three years later when he won the New Zealand nation championship in the 1982 men's single sculls title by defeating the five time national champion John Alexander from Whakatane as a Premier sculler at Lake Waihola. The following year in 1983 at Lake Horowhenia he won the historic and famed 'Boss Rooster' trophy in the coxed four with Mike Stanley, Rogar White-Parsons and Barrie Mabbott, and coxswain Andrew Hay.
Amateur Rowing Association equipment regulations Rower in a scull on the Great Ouse river, England. Single sculls are also used for the training of team rowers, serving primarily to enhance the rowers' individual technique and watermanship. The main reason for this is that in the single scull the sculler is responsible for all movement in the boat and therefore receives direct feedback on the effect of their movements on balance and speed. Single sculling time trials and races are sometimes used to measure individuals' rowing ability for selection into larger boats, since each rower's ability can be measured directly and there is no contribution from other crew members.
In May 1876 the Sydney innkeeper, James Punch, who was a former sculler, took Trickett to England. He went on to win Australia's first world sporting title on 27 June 1876 by defeating the two-times champion, Englishman Joseph Sadler, for the World Sculling Championship, starting a Golden Age for Australian professional sculling. The world title was held by seven Australians for 22 of the 31 years between 1876 and 1907. Sculling Championship of the World - 1876 - Edward Trickett defeats John Joseph SadlerThe course for the race was the Championship Course from Putney to Mortlake on the Thames, a distance of nearly four and a quarter miles.

Elliott's first match of importance was against George Tarryer, of Bermondsey, which he won easily. Having beaten so good a man as the Thames sculler, who is credited with having rowed from Putney aqueduct to the Ship at Mortlake in the fastest time on record, his friends became jubilant, consequently they soon cast about for a fresh opponent, and on the Tyne, Robert Bagnall, of the Ouseburn, and William Nicholson went down before him. On 4 March 1878, Elliott again competed for the champion cup and £200 on the Tyne course, 3 miles 713 yards straightaway, his opponent being William Nicholson. Elliott rowed a grand race, rowing in high wind and rough water, and winning easily.
The rowers were Clarrie Healey, W. Ryland, H. Sharpe, and W. Coombes (all from Wanganui), C. J. Adams, R. G. Croudis, E. T. Hegglun, and W. Pinkham (all from Blenheim), and W. Sergison (Christchurch). The biggest challenge at the time was a lack of funds and ultimately, the necessary money could not be raised and no rowers were sent. Darcy Hadfield was a dominant single sculler at the time but he had become professional in 1922 and was thus no longer eligible to compete at the Olympics. Randolph Rose was the Australasian champion over 3 miles and was one of the Olympic nominees, but he was operated for appendicitis in March 1924 and could not go to Paris.

The Chinese "yuloh" (from ) is a large, heavy sculling oar with a socket on the underside of its shaft which fits over a stern-mounted pin, creating a pivot which allows the oar to swivel and rock from side to side. The weight of the oar, often supplemented by a rope lashing, holds the oar in place on the pivot. The weight of the outboard portion of the oar is counterbalanced by a rope running from the underside of the handle to the deck of the boat. The sculler mainly moves the oar by pushing and pulling on this rope, which causes the oar to rock on its pivot, automatically angling the blade to create forward thrust.
The first race for the Professional Championship of the Thames took place between Westminster and Hammersmith, on the River Thames in London in September 1831, when John Williams of Waterloo Bridge challenged Charles Campbell of Westminster for the Sculling Championship of the Thames. This was just over a year after the first Wingfield Sculls race for the Amateur Championship of the Thames had been held. The race was initially dominated by oarsmen from the Thames, but a fierce rivalry soon arose between Newcastle and London after the famous Tyne sculler, Robert Chambers became the first non- Londoner to secure the title in 1859. In 1863 the race became for the Championship of the World.
That year he was also Australia's lightweight single sculler at the U23 World Championships in Hamburg where he won a gold medal and an U23 world championship title. He then was Australia's lightweight single sculling entrant at the 1999 World Rowing Championships in St Catharines, Canada where he missed the A final and rowed to an overall seventh place finish. In 2000 Parker moved into selection contention in sweep- oared boats. He was in the five seat of the Australian men's lightweight eight when they won gold at the World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne and the held his seat for the 2000 World Rowing Championships in Zagreb where the eight rowed to a bronze medal.
Waitemata winning and North Shore rowing second. After this he went back to the bush; but in November 1888, he and two friends left the Wairoa, intending to go to Tasmania. Stephenson, however, got no further than Sydney, where he determined to try his luck as a professional sculler. The Spencer Brothers, who brought out Searle and Matterson, finding that he gave good promise, took him 'up' and backed him against Joe Kemp, brother of the ex- champion, for £100 a-side. The match was rowed over the Parramatta course on 30 August 1889, and resulted in a three lengths win for Stephenson, the time for the first mile being 5min 43sec, and the full distance being rowed in 20min 24.5sec.
The oar normally pivots in a simple notch cut into—or rowlock mounted on— the stern of the boat, and the sculler must angle the blade, by twisting the inboard end of the oar, to generate the thrust that not only pushes the boat forward but also holds the oar in its pivot. Specifically, the operation of the single sculling (oar) is unique as turning the blade of the oar in figure 8 motions operates them. It is not hoisted in and out of the water like any other traditional oars. The objective is to minimize the movement of the operator's hands, and the side-to-side movement of the boat, so the boat moves through the water slowly and steadily.
Thomas Keller also known as Thomi Keller (24 December 1924 – 28 September 1989) was the president of Féderation Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron (FISA), the governing body of international rowing, from 1958 until his death in 1989, and president of the General Association of International Sports Federations from 1969 to 1987. He was also a qualified chemical engineer and president of Swiss Timing, a company specialising in sports chronometry which is now part of the Swatch group. As a student, Keller was a member of the Swiss university teams for Nordic combined skiing and for ski-jumping. However, in rowing, he was not only a champion sculler at Swiss national level, but won the bronze medal in single sculls at the 1950 European Rowing Championships.
Although she was a reserve for the Australian women's quad scull who competed at the 1995 World Rowing Championships, Robinson's first international representative regatta was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in that same boat. She beat out the veteran Australian sculler Adair Ferguson for the bow seat in the quad who finished ninth. Robinson became the first Melbourne Rowing Club female member to row at an Olympics.MRC History In 1997 Robinson represented in both World Rowing Cups in Europe in a double scull with Gina Douglas in the lead up to the 1997 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, where Douglas and Robinson made the final and finished in overall sixth place. In 1998 she moved into the Australian quad scull who again performed credibly winning medals in that years World Rowing Cups.
Inter-colonial racing began in Australia in 1833 when a Sydney crew raced a Hobart crew in whalers. Schools, varsity and club events were the top-class races throughout the mid 19th century although New South Wales and Victoria raced regularly (though not annually) in men's IVs from 1863. In 1878 Victoria and New South Wales commenced inter-colonial racing in eight-oared boats and the other colonies and (later states) joined them such that by 1906 all six Australian states were sending a men's VIII and perhaps a sculler, to the annual Interstate Regatta. A national open rowing championship was discussed at Australian Rowing Council meetings from 1946 but it wasn't until the 1960s that support for the concept was unanimous outside of New South Wales and Victoria.
Rowe joined the UTS Haberfield Rowing Club and made sculling his daily commute up the Parramatta River to Ryde where he worked for Howard Croker who manufactured oars.

Rupert Guinness began rowing at Eton; he won the School Sculls 1892 and was part of the Eton eight which won the Ladies' Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta in 1893. At Cambridge, he joined Third Trinity Boat Club but, according to Vanity Fair's pen picture of him, "had the bad luck to develop a weakness of heart, which kept him from his place in the Cambridge eight." While an undergraduate, he joined Thames Rowing Club to have a London base to train with Bill East, the 1891 English professional sculling champion. Helped by coaching from East, he became a successful sculler, joined Leander Club and won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley in 1895 and 1896, as well as the Wingfield Sculls, for the Amateur Sculling Championship of the Thames and Great Britain, in 1896.
Furnivall was always an enthusiastic oarsman, and kept up his interest in rowing till the end of his life. With John Beesley in 1845, he introduced the new type of narrow sculling boat, and in 1886 started races on the Thames for sculling fours and sculling eights. In 1896 Furnivall founded the Hammersmith Sculling Club (now called Furnivall Sculling Club), initially for working-class girls, and he "entered into its activities with his usual boyish enthusiasm, for it brought together two of his favourite activities: vigorous outdoor exercise and enjoyment of the company of young women". Furnivall the sculler may have been the original of his acquaintance Kenneth Grahame's character Ratty in The Wind in the Willows and it has also been suggested that he inspired the portrayal of the god Pan in the same work.

In his teens Addy learned to swim at Greengate Baths in Salford, and over the next few years became an expert swimmer. He also became a proficient oarsman and, in addition to various successes at local regattas, he beat David Coombes (son of champion sculler, Robert Coombes) in the Thames Championship for £200, and Ted May (author of Ted May's Useful Little Book)Ted May's Useful Little Book:Hammersmith: Ted May, 1883 Retrieved on 2008-08-22 over the same course for £100. He was the head of the famous "Colleen Bawn" crew, who were so named when the proprietor of Queen's Theatre in Manchester gave a prize, on condition that the winning crew became known by the name of his latest theatre production. After marrying, Mark moved across the river to Ordsall in Salford and became the landlord of the Old Boathouse Inn in Everard Street off Ordsall Lane, but due to its close proximity to the river, he continued to carry out a series of rescues.
Henry Sampson (1841, Lincoln – 16 May 1891, London) was an English newspaper proprietor and editor. Sampson was the son of a journalist. At the age of twelve he entered a printing office in London, and became successively a compositor and proof-reader. From youth he was devoted to sport, and excelled as a boxer, runner, and sculler until he was twenty-three, when he was disabled by an accident to his left foot. In 1866 he was engaged by Samuel Beeton to contribute sporting leaders to the Glow-Worm and the Weekly Dispatch. Afterwards he joined the staff of the Illustrated Sporting News and Theatrical Review, and early in 1869 was appointed editor of that journal. On its collapse on 19 March 1870 he became the first editor of the Latest News (No. 1, 29 Aug. 1869), a penny Sunday paper of sixteen pages, which ceased after No. 57 on 25 Sept. 1870.
This win proved exceptionally popular, as it was one of the few events that year that was won by an English crew. Aubrey Lion, who stroked the four, became president of the club in 1977. At the 1948 Olympics in London, the club's Bert Bushnell teamed up with Leander Club's Richard Burnell to win the double sculls. Their journey to this gold medal, which saw them put together by Jack Beresford only six weeks before the games and included overcoming physical differences in the boat and social differences outside the boat, was retold in the 2012 BBC drama Bert and Dickie. Bushnell was an accomplished sculler, who represented the club well to win the Wingfield Sculls in 1947, as well as finishing runner-up in the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley in 1948, a result that ultimately led to him being selected to race the Olympic double as opposed to the single.
Alexander Alcée Casamajor (1833 – 7 August 1861) was a British rower who won the Wingfield Sculls in six successive years and the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley Royal Regatta as well as being twice in the winning Grand Challenge Cup team.

In London he came in co favored for gold with Drysdale after trading gold and silver at the previous 2 World Championships, but fell short to Drysdale in the final. In Rio after having won 3 straight World Championships since London, he came in as the clear favorite and had a stated desire to badly want the Olympic Gold he narrowly missed in both Beijing and Rio his quest for Olympic Gold failed for a 3rd consecutive time in Rio as he took bronze in the single sculls behind both Drysdale and the surprising Damir Martin. As a 5 time World Champion in single sculls, and with a total of 13 World and Olympic single scull medals he is by far the most successful single sculler in history to not yet have an Olympic Gold. He confirmed after his Rio defeat to want to take a likely final attempt at the elusive Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020.
Sir Patrick MacChombaich de Colquhoun ( ; 13 April 1815 – 18 May 1891) was a British diplomat, legal writer and sculler who influenced early Cambridge rowing.
