Ceetak – massive support!

Training Camp 2014 – Ceetak on tour prior to Henley Royal Regatta:

The sponsorship has had a great community impact – the junior team are largely state school kids who would otherwise not perhaps get the chance to take up the sport; at Henley for example they had the backing of a number of Olympians, were started in their time trial by Sir Steve Redgrave, the finish Marshall was Sir Matthew Pinsent whilst New Zealand Olympic Champion Eric Murray took time out to write them a note of support.

The Ceetak sponsorship also provided the boat for the senior men’s four – 3 of which are former Junior squad members who have progressed to the senior team.
