The GB Rowing Team selectors have today announced the men's four that will race at the World Championships later this month - an event this year that is also the Olympic and Paralympic qualifying regatta.
Alan Sinclair, Stewart Innes, Tom Ransley and Scott Durant have come through two weeks of testing and trialling since the bulk of the squad was announced on July 21st.
Ransley, speaking at the team's training camp in Austria said: "It's going well out here. We've put in lots of mileage and there has been fatigue but we have carried the rhythm through the sessions.
"The Worlds are what we have built towards for the whole season. There's a good team feel about it as it's where we will qualify the boats for the Olympics. So that's a team goal we are working towards, which feels good."
Ransley is a twice World Champion and Olympic bronze medallist in the eight whilst relative GB newcomer Stewart Innes was in the GB eight that won World Cup gold in Varese earlier this year. Sinclair and Durant won World silver in the coxed pair with cox Henry Fieldman just under a year ago.
Nathaniel Reilly O'Donnell was unable to take part in the testing due to illness. He joined the men's squad at their Austrian training camp late.
The reigning World Champion has been selected instead to race in the men's coxed pair with his fellow 2014 World eights gold winner Mat Tarrant and cox Henry Fieldman when the Championships take place in Aiguebelette, France, from August 30 - September 6.
Fieldman said: "It'a an honour to be selected to represent the country again and it's a very exciting boat to be part of looking at the pedigree of the two guys that I have sat behind me.
"We've got off to a strong start on camp and our primary goal is to bring home the gold and the start that we have had shows that we have that in our minds."
GB has also named a lightweight men's quad of Steve Parsonage, Jamie Copus, Sam Mottram and Zak Lee-Green.
Lee-Green and Mottram got a senior world cup run-out earlier this season in the lightweight double. Parsonage, Copus and Mottram were all part of the the GB lightweight quad that raced to a silver medal at last week's World U23 Championships.
Parsonage is in his first year as an U23 and a lightweight having won a silver medal in the junior men's quadruple scull at the 2014 World Junior Championships.
Copus took silver in the lightweight men's four at the U23 Championships last year and Lee-Green was a B finalist in his inaugural senior World Championships in Amsterdam last autumn.
GB has now announced a total of 23 boats for the Championships. Sir David Tanner and his Chief Coach for Women and Lightweights, Paul Thompson, still have the potential of a GB entry in the women's four under consideration.
