Zac Purchase in the lightweight men's double and Katherine Grainger and Annie Vernon in the women's quadruple won the gold in the season's opener in Germany.

Fellow Marlow rowers, Rob Williams and Sarah Winkless were so successful as they could only manage fifth in the mens and womens pairs respectively.
