World record rower Rob Hamill
Rob Hamill rose to international attention when he smashed the world record for the Atlantic Rowing Race in 1997 with rowing partner Phil Stubbs.

Not one to sit still, the former Olympic and World Championship rower was a part of the next two winning Atlantic campaigns and set a World Record for indoor rowing.
He is now involved in organising rowing events such as The Great Race and the trans-Tasman Bridge to Bridge Challenge, as well as appearing as a motivational speaker.
