Speedcoach

Speed, Distance, Time, Rate, Memory

The easy-to-use, affordable SpeedCoach provides you with all the information you need to train and race effectively. Boat speed through the water is accurately measured and clearly displayed, together with stroke rate and elapsed time, distance or average speed. You get instant feedback as you row, and the memory feature lets you review your performance in detail after a piece or a race. The display unit is waterproof, buoyant and durable. The low-drag speed sensor is easy to install - no through-hull holes are required - and resistant to fouling. Stroke rate is determined from a magnetic seat switch and displayed with 1/2 - stroke resolution. Let an NK SpeedCoach be your personal training partner and coach.
