Our People
OUR PEOPLE
The people behind the boats.
The Sykes team covers every corner of the sport. We have boatbuilders, designers and engineers in the workshop; people who've run rowing programs at schools and clubs; coaches; and Olympic and World Championship athletes. Together we design, build, fit out and support every boat that leaves our Geelong facility, with the kind of practical, on-water knowledge that only comes from people who know rowing.
Meet the people who keep Sykes moving.
