As a stillwater rower he was a four-time national champion across both sculling and sweep-oared boats and competed at two Olympic Games.[1] Rowing family and pedigreeBorn in Perth, Western Australia Ninham's father William Ninham a boat builder, stroked South Australian eights which contested the King's Cup in 1932, 1933 and 1935.[2] As a Perth-based boat building craftsman he had long association with the West Australian Rowing Club and the Fremantle Rowing Club.[3] Ninham's niece Sally Ninham was an Australian national champion lightweight rower who won a silver medal at the 1990 World Rowing Championships. Club and state rowingRoger Ninham's senior club rowing was initially from the West Australian Rowing Club[4] and later from the Mosman Rowing Club. Ninham's first state selection for Western Australian was in the 1960 men's eight which contested and won the King's Cup at the Interstate Regatta within Australian Rowing Championships.[5] In 1961 he was the Western Australian entrant to race the President's Cup – the interstate single sculls championship. He won that 1961 title.[6] In Ninham relocated to Sydney and joined the Mosman Rowing Club. At the 1962 Australian Rowing Championships he contested and won the national coxless pair title in Mosman colours with Peter Raper and won the coxless four title with Raper, Maurice Grace and Bill Hatfield.[7] In 1964 & 1966 he won the national coxless pair title again – both times paired with Bob Shirlaw.[8] In 1966 he also contested the coxless four title in a composite Haberfield/Mosman crew.[9] International representative rowingThe entire West Australian champion King's Cup eight of 1960 were selected without alteration as the Australian eight to compete at the 1960 Rome Olympics. The crew was graded as the second of the seven Australian Olympic boats picked for Rome and was therefore fully funded by the Australian Olympic Committee. Ninham rowed in the seven seat of the eight. They were eliminated in the repechage on Lake Albano at the 1960 Olympics.[10] The Mosman Rowing Club national champion coxless four of 1962 with Ninham at stroke was selected in toto as the coxless four for the 1962 Perth Commonwealth Games. Dissension amongst the members of the four saw Ninham and Hatfield move into the pair and the Victorian emergencies Newcomb and Boykett coming into the four.[11] Ninham and Hatfield won bronze in the pair and the four were the only unplaced Australian boat at the Games.[12] In 1964 as the Australian champion coxless pair, Ninham and Bob Shirlaw were selected as Australia's coxless pair to compete at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in the coxless pair. They finished third in the B final for an overall ninth place.[13] Surfboats and boat buildingNinham had a deep involvement with surfcraft and surfboat rowing. As a young man he had worked for his father in Perth building rowing shells and surfboats and in Perth became involved in rowing surfboats. In the early 1960s he came to Sydney, worked for a local builder for a short period then set up his own boatyard in Manly Vale.[14] In the 1960s he designed a unique timber and fibreglass double surf ski that is registered with the Australian Register of Historic Vessels. In 1971 a surfboat he had built and rowed for his club – Queenscliff SLSC – won the 1971 Australian National Championship in Perth. Other Surf Life Saving Clubs around the country sought orders for the same design and Ninham's boat building business prospered.[15] In 1997 he was inducted into the Australian Surf Rowers League's Hall of Fame.[16] References1. ^{{cite sports-reference|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ni/roger-ninham-1.html}} 2. ^1933 Kings Cup 3. ^Bill Ninham Fremantle 4. ^[https://warowingclub.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/1998_10_01-warc-submission-to-barrack-square-redevelopment.pdf WARC history] 5. ^1960 Interstate Regatta 6. ^1961 Interstate Regatta 7. ^1962 Austn C'ships 8. ^1964 Austn C'ships 9. ^1966 Austn C'ships 10. ^1960 Olympics 11. ^1962 C'wealth Games 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.commonwealthgames.org.au/results/person/1832.htm|title=Commonwealth Games results|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313130754/http://commonwealthgames.org.au/results/person/1832.htm|archivedate=13 March 2016|df=dmy-all}} 13. ^1964 Olympics 14. ^Ninham at the Austn Register of Historic Vessels 15. ^Ninham at the Austn Register of Historic Vessels 16. ^[https://asrl.com.au/about-asrl/about-asrl/asrl-hall-of-fame ASRL Hall of Fame] External links
