When St Bede’s College first invested in an SL Racing boat back in 2010, they became the proud owners of the very first hull to roll off our production line. Since then, this Christchurch school has built a fleet of SLR boats, including their flagship eight that have delivered consistent results, remarkable durability, and a competitive edge on the water.
From record-breaking wins at the Maadi Cup to everyday training reliability, St Bede’s rowers and coaches know they can count on SLR for fast, sturdy, and easy-to-handle boats.
In this video, hear from Head rowing coach Dale Maher and the crew at St Bede’s as they share why they’ve trusted SLR for over a decade: the proven performance of SLR boats, their unrivalled handling, and the exceptional service and support that keeps their program running smoothly.
“SL Racing has proudly worked with St Bede’s College since 2010. They were our very first customer, purchasing a Coxed Four/Quad when we were just getting started. That early support played a key role in laying the foundations for SL Racing and remains a meaningful part of our journey. It’s been a privilege to continue supporting the St Bede’s rowing programme alongside Dale over the years, and to watch their crews grow, develop, and succeed on the water”
