To meet SimulatOar inventor Calvin Coffey is to appreciate his creativity, drive, and his love of life & rowing. Our USRowing Convention interviews continued on Sunday, Feb. 5 with Coffey and his wife, Maggie. Calvin competed in the 1976 Summer Olympics, where he and his partner Mike Staines won the silver medal in the coxless pairs event. A few years later, after a devastating car accident, he invented the rowing simulation machine, SimulatOar (best product name ever!). He also made CTC racing shells, and pioneered the use of composite materials in rowing equipment. Coffey continues to make his machines to order, one-by-one, in his home basement shop. Watch the livestream replay on our YouTube channel - at the end of the interview, when our producer tests out the machine under the expert tutelage of the inventor!
