ANU Boathouse Upgrade Helps Fund New Fleet
Last week, SSRS had the privilege of installing their Sliding Arm Boat racks in the ANU (Australian National University) Boathouse in Canberra. As you can see from the 'before' pictures, the boathouse was a bit limited with it's storage options. And do we have to mention the struggle their crews inevitably faced when retrieving their boats from the top of the stationary racks? Does it look familiar?

Completed in December 2015, the improved facility has allowed the crews to get out on the water twice already this winter - something which hasn't happened for a few years!

Quick Release Wing Riggers & SSRS – A Winning Combo
There is often a substantial opportunity cost associated with removing conventional wing riggers in order to maximize the storage space in the boathouse. Many athletes and crews will argue the time taken to dismantle each boat after the session comes at a high price for the amount of space gained. How much space is gained from storing the boat and riggers separately?

If your rowing club has any number of wing rigger boats, you'll be familiar with the struggle of fitting multiple boats into the available boathouse space.

Our Wing Rigger Brackets will maximise the space for the boat
