Williams's Quintuple Dirt Cheap

Tim Koch, HTBS special correspondent in London, reports that “The five-person sculling boat built by Carl Douglas for the recent Robbie Williams / Take That video reported on the 22 November has been sold on eBay after a twelve person bidding war for £3,800 ($5,900). Part of the money raised will go to support youth rowing. This was a bargain for the winner as it is less than the price of a decent single scull. Of course there is only one other boat in existence that it can race…”

Thank you, Tim, for keeping the HTBS readers updated!

Put A Bid In For William's Quintuple

Good Tim Koch sent me an e-mail earlier today pointing towards some interesting rowing stuff on eBay. Up for sale is the five-person sculling boat - a quintuple - built by Carl Douglas Racing Shells for the band Take That’s “The Flood”, which has become a smashing hit. You might already have watched the DVD here on HTBS (if not, click here). The shell, with the name ‘Progress’, was specially created by Carl Douglas for this DVD, which marks Robbie William’s return to Take That. When I am writing this there is six more days to go before the auction ends. Right now the bid is £1,500.00 (reserve not met). Hurry up to put a bid in for this unique boat. If you would win, a part of the money will support “youth and grass root rowing” in England. Read more about it on eBay’s site. Good luck with your bid!
