Sykes Rowing

About

Sykes Rowing is Australia's leading rowing boat manufacturer. We build boats from the initial design phase to the finished product. We build boats for everyone – whether rowers are new to the sport, or world champions, we have a boat to suit them. Striving to innovate and evolve design, technology and construction of our boats and fittings, we deliver the best products for every rowing need.

Sykes has been producing quality rowing boats for 55 years. We are extremely proud of our Australian rowing heritage and passionately deliver on our reputation for providing excellent products, reliable service and invaluable after-sales support and advice to our valued customers.

PAST AND FUTURE
In 1966 Jeff Sykes established the company after building his first racing scull that helped him win the Australian Interstate Sculling Championships – the Presidents Cup. Within two years a Sykes boat was competing at the Mexico Olympics and within eight years we had achieved our first rowing gold medal boat (also Australia's first!) at the 1974 World Championships. Now having four Olympic Gold Medals and over 30 other medals at Olympics and World Championships is testament to the design excellence and quality manufacturing begun by Jeff Sykes that continues at our factory in Geelong, Victoria.

As part of our aim to export the Sykes brand to the world, we recently acquired the well-known American-based boat builder Resolute Rowing. Besides now having a presence and factory in the USA, this acquisition brings substantial technological advancements to Sykes – some of which will be seen in Australia early in 2022.
