  • #57 The Boat Brands - with Geoff, Simon and Tom

    #57 The Boat Brands - with Geoff, Simon and Tom
    Jan 6 2026
    www.completerowing.com www.travelrow.it/completerowing - for Club Camps. Today I welcome Simon Hunt, Tom Bishop and Geoff Peel to discuss the different boat brands; focused on single sculls. We start with a quiz of seven companies. Using their own language, I host a quiz and make the guests match website descriptions to boat companies. It's a good way to share differences of reputation and purpose. Then each guest goes through their own boats - Filippi, Fluidesign and Empacher. They detail their experience in buying the boat, what they were looking for and what they found. They each share how the boats feel, how they are different and how they found the right boat. I trust you will find this episode fun and informative!
