The app and the game.

An app that reads your race. A game that lets you row one.

A real Head of the Charles race laid over the satellite view, the line coloured by split, with live time, metres, split and rate

Gate to Gate

Reads the file off your SpeedCoach or CoxBox and gives you everything in it. And the one thing nobody else can: your line. How good was it? The distance the race says it is against the distance you actually rowed, measured exactly from the start line to the finish line. It does not matter when you pressed the button.

The game

An eight coming through Eliot Bridge on race day, the crowd along the parapet

Trust your cox.

You row facing the stern. The cox sees what you can't and tells you what to do. Your catch timing is the throttle.

Real rivers, drawn from the real banks: the bridges, the arches and the buoys where they are. The cox in your ear knows the course. Time is the score; the line is the story.
