Last newsletter saw an article on uber-sailor Ben Ainslie's training routine and how he uses the Indoor Rower to get him in tip-top shape. Indoor rowing has long links with sailing and over the past decade the Indoor Rower has become integrated into the fitness assessments and training regimes of every member of the RYA Youth and Senior sailing squads. This means that over 600 elite sailors are tested on the machine twice a year and their performances logged and benchmarked. Concept 2 have also teamed up with the RYA to become an official sponsor of Team GBR through to the Athens 2004 Olympics, and machines are now in place in the gym at Athens. We now have a fledging section on the Concept 2 site about our relationship with the RYA at http://www.therowingcompany.com/v4/rya_section.htm. As well as the Ben Ainslie article, there are also two in-depth question and answer pieces covering sailing and training.
