Hollywood takes Geelong to the world

January 24, 2023

Eagle-eyed Jack Ryan fans might have noticed a familiar logo during the latest Amazon TV adaptation of the Tom Clancy series.  Jack, it seems, knows good quality and selected a Sykes boat for his early morning rowing sessions on the Potomac in Washington DC. Sykes boats are manufactured in Geelong by Australian industry leader, Sykes Rowing, a long-time GMC member.

Sykes have been building world class boats in Geelong for over 50 years. The company innovates daily, utilising world leading technology, and collaborates with top international competitors, coaching and industry experts.

It’s not only crack CIA agents (and streaming TV content producers) choosing Sykes. International competitors, school and club rowers have a long history in Sykes boats. Four Olympic Gold Medals and over 30 other medals at Olympics and World Championships have been won in Sykes boats.
