24.01.2022 In 1966 Jeff Sykes designed and built his first racing scull that would assist him winning the Australian Interstate Sculling Championship the Presidents Cup, held on the Huon River in Tasmania. That first boat was the beginning for what became Jeff Sykes & Associates Pty Ltd, now generally known simply as Sykes. Within two years of commencing in business, a Sykes boat was competing at the Mexico Olympics and within eight years, Sykes’s first rowing gold medal boat (also ...Australia’s first) was achieved at the 1974 World Championships (LM4-). Australia has won 4 Olympic Gold medals in Sykes. More than any other boat type. Today, 54 years later, Jeff’s passion and desire to be the best still lives on that very first wooden Sculling boat and the 1974 Gold Medal boat still exist too. Jeff retired from the business in 2000. He still drops by regularly and can been seen rowing daily on the banks of the Barwon river. #sykedup #sykes #rowing #worldrowing #rowingaustralia #rowinghistory #australianrowing #crew #rowingteam #rudern #aviron #rowingrelated #justrowing #athlete #row2k

20.01.2022 Rowers can handle the early starts, the blisters on their hands, the 2k ergo tests, the cold early morning sessions, catching your knuckle on the rigger on the recovery and when the coach says just one more piece and you know that’s not true... But never have you been told you cannot row for an indefinite period of time. To all the rowers out there not able to get on the water we are with you. Victoria our home state you’re time has come to get back on the water. Stay safe out there and don’t hold back, you deserve it! #sykedup #sykes #rowing #worldrowing #rowingaustralia #rowinghistory #australianrowing #crew #rowingteam #rudern #aviron #rowingrelated #justrowing #athlete #row2k

11.01.2022 A sneak peek at the latest C-cup design on our all new soon to be released bow mounted sculling rigger. Our latest bow mounted rigger features a new construction that is unrivalled. The new c-cup design is simple to use and can be adjusted in a fraction of the time compared to many other riggers on the market. Allowing more time for rowing on the water and less time on the bank rigging. ... Stay tuned for another exciting bow mounted rigger announcement very soon Any guess who the first customer might be? #sykedup #sykedup #sykes #rowing #worldrowing #rowingaustralia #rowinghistory #australianrowing #crew #rowingteam #rudern #aviron #rowingrelated #justrowing #athlete #row2k

10.01.2022 For those of you unable to get out on the water at the moment. Turn your sound on . This video really captures the feeling that all rowers can relate to.

08.01.2022 Congratulations to @bggs.rowing taking out the School Girl 8+ (div 1 and 2). Great to see the new 857 8+ has been put to good use # Sykedup repost @garylynaghphotography I always like to use songs lyrics for my captions. I just haven’t got one at the moment- my head is empty. Any suggestions???? Well done @bggs.rowing @bggs2020 @bggsfirst8 That has just created history for your school !!!

06.01.2022 Last week we heard from @genevieveech about her time in isolation after the @olympics being postponed. This week we hear from @purnstar about his experience in isolation and also his training back at the @rowingaustralia men’s national training centre in Canberra #sykedup

05.01.2022 Did you know that Sykes can repair any boat, not just Sykes boats? Sykes has one of the best repair facilities in the world with skilled trades to match. If you care for your equipment and it gets damaged, ask us for a quote. We can quote the repair if you supply us photos and then arrange transport if required #sykedup @ Sykes

04.01.2022 Repost: @rowingaustralia Congratulations to the lovely Amanda Bateman who snapped up a pair of @concept2au Skinny sculls Smoothie2 Blade, courtesy of @sykes.au, for winning the Women’s Single Scull event at our mini NTC regatta! Thanks Sykes for donating such a generous prize!

04.01.2022 The sun will rise tomorrow. Thinking of all those rowers out there unable to get their feet wet each morning. Stay safe, you will be back on the water in no time @johnlinke #sykedup

04.01.2022 The Sykes Initiator - since Sykes introduced the Initiator single in 2013 it has transformed many rowing programs. The Initiator is easy to row but acts and feels like a racing boat. The hull is a tough fibreglass construction so it’s built to last in even the most demanding programs. Priced at just $4537 + GST it’s very easy to justify having the Initiator in your program. Tag a friend or program that needs an Initiator in their life #sykedup

03.01.2022 No trailer, no problem. Tag your rowing mate that you would take on a weekend rowing get away and tell us where you would go #sykedup
