Dopo gli altalenanti risultati di Lucerna, dovuti in larga parte ai problemi di amalgama di un gruppo fortemente rinnovato dopo Rio de Janeiro, la Gran Bretagna affila le proprie armi e annuncia la propria squadra per i Mondiali. 

Diciassette equipaggi, 64 atleti: tra loro 4 campioni olimpici e 2 paralimpici. Non cambia il 4 senza: Rossiter, Sbihi, Tarrant e Satch affronteranno Sarasota dopo la vittoria  in Coppa del Mondo a Lucerna. Oro a Poznan e a Henley, argento a Lucerna: resta invariato anche il 4 di coppia (Beaumont, Walton, Collins, Lambert).  Si rinforza l’Ammiraglia con il ritorno di Ransley e Sinclair. L’esperienza di Karen Bennett, invece, al servizio dell’otto femminile.  Ecco, tratta dal portale BritishRowing, tutta la squadra.
