The Friends UoR
Dear Friends of the University.
The University Boat Club would apply for a grant to fund an RP3 rowing machine.
Rowing offers the chance for all students to enhance their degree with extra-curricular studies and this rowing machine is as close as you can get to the feel of the boat on the land. It will provide a fantastic opportunity for all the students to learn, develop and enhance their skills in a safe and controlled environment. The machine would improve the experience for hundreds of students over the many years of service we would enjoy with it.
Full cost of project – £2575.
There may be the opportunity to raise additional funds if the Friends are not able to grant the full cost.
Details of the RP3 rowing machine can be found here – https://www.rp3rowing.co.uk//rp3-model-t
If you would like further information, please let me know.
Kind regards.
Will

DYNAMIC ROWING. The RP3 Model T is even more advanced in terms of dynamic rowing. Thanks to a gas spring on the rear leg, the rower can feel the machine bounce under load at the end of the stroke, replicating a boat on the water.
