The boat was a Vespoli 'D' hull XL size (95+kg). The boat was sent ahead to Australia having been checked over in the UK. It was rowed once in the UK and then shipped to Australia. On its return after the Olympics it was sold to the river and rowing museum. The money was then donated to the Harry Mahon cancer fund.
The boat has been displayed at the Maritime museum in Cornwall, and is now on display in Middlesex University.
What a crew! I was fortunate enough to have seen this crew close up in London (I wasd on a coaching course at Imperial College) and was totally blown away by how they moved the boat! I had never and still have never seen a crew as connected at the front end of the stroke!
I for one would love to hear the story 'from the inside' as it were!

Yes, an awesome venue for training. A six lane course was provided solely for the use of the team pre Sydney.
