Past Additions & Updates to This Website

November 2018 - Launch of our new website!

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new website. We are, however, still migrating our thousands of webpages from the old platform into new templates on the new platform, so our website will have a mixed look until this job is completed.

With this new website come several new sections:

The idea for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin developed and extended these histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and then expanded the site.

Steve Roll has been an invaluable contributor to the website in locating errors and finding Christian names of rowers. His superb work is acknowledged.
