The Feather & Square Story
Meet
Miles Beeson
Miles graduated from Yale University in 2023 and has raced for Great Britain at Junior, U23, and Senior level. His achievements include winning the U23 World Championships in all 3 Olympic Class Sweep events. (F&S = Free Speed)
Having finally been forced out of age-group rowing, Miles is now a member of Leander Club and the GB Senior team. Having once nearly quit rowing because of blister-riddled hands there is nobody more grateful to our signature balm than this big fella.
If you order from us he'll be the one sending out your package so look out for his scrappy handwriting!
He is a proud former pupil of Aberdeen Schools Rowing Association where he took his first strokes in 2013.
Meet
Lenny Jenkins
Lenny did some stuff too…. As a former Kiwi sculler he rode Jack Lopas’ illustrious coat-tails to a world championship gold in the Junior Men's Double before legging it to Yale to be disowned by Rowing New Zealand. There, he won a few natty champs in the Varsity, going undefeated in 2019 and winning the Head of the Charles regatta in 2018 and 2019.
Having switched allegiances he won silver in the U23 8+ in 2018 for GB which he followed up with a Gold in 2019 in the same event. After a year on the dark side at Brookes Rowing, Lenny won the Visitors 4- and pulled Miles’ pants down in the Ladies Plate at Henley 2021. Lenny wound up training at Caversham with the national team winning gold in the Men's 4- at World Cup I in 2022 before being unceremoniously dropped (picture right taken moments before heartbreak). He's now at Oxford University studying Sustainability, Enterprise, and the Environment and rowing with OUBC.
