Concept 2 Oars Nielsen Kellerman Electronics Wintech Racing Boats

In 1976 fresh from Olympic training, Dick and Pete Dreissigacker started making composite racing oars. Quickly and firmly accepted, they are now the oar of choice among the world's rowers. Ian Wilson was one of the first in the UK to use Dreissigacker oars winning Gold at the 1979 World Championships and insisted on Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association almost exclusively using these oars to great success throughout their illustrious history. Today, National squads the world over trust and win with C2 oars as do others at all levels. Dick and Pete, always the innovators, continue to develop ideas and theories for their oars with systematic on-water testing and result evaluation bringing advances in oar handling and performance way ahead of the competition and imitators. Through Oarsport, you can enjoy using C2 oars and sculls in your organisation backed up with a first class sales, spares and service second to none.

This tool has transformed the art of coxing by making steering a coxed boat safer and providing the cox with information they can use to make their crew faster. In the 21st century, the family of NK's electronic products have helped rowers and coaches from all over the world to train and race to the best of their ability with relevant feedback right there in the boat or in the hand. Always at the forefront of technology, NK have simplified and made products rugged enough for the harsh environments in which the sport of rowing can be found. Perhaps no other sport has so many variables in weather conditions - blistering sun, chilly winds, rain, sleet or snow, flat or rough water.

NK have a reputation for quality and reliability that no other rowing electronics manufacturer has yet gained or even come close to. NK have over 30 years experience and knowledge in designing products that work for you. The SpeedCoach XL range is cutting edge equipment that anyone can use and improve with.
