Old hands spearhead Britain's new-look team for next month's World Championships in Poznan, though some are in new boats. Katherine Grainger is named in the single scull after a dozen years in crew boats.

Andy Hodge and Pete Reed are now a pair instead of half of a four, and three men from the Beijing eight are joined by newcomer Alex Gregory in the coxless four. The team comprises 17 boats and the target agreed with UK Sport is four medals.
