The Dreher Rowing Oar design

The Dreher Oar and Scull system is designed for optimum performance. Dreher oars are lightweight, rigid and built to last.

These are the only oars and sculls wholly made of carbon and manufactured in an autoclave (heat and pressure) producing stiffness and a long product life. The modular design means spoons / shafts / handles are interchangeable making repairs and upgrades to worn parts cheap. Most of these upgrades you can do yourself with a digital pitch meter and a heat gun. We aim to complete repairs within a week.

Drehers have a reputation for being a 'technical' oar and scull - they grip the water early at the catch, hold their depth accurately during the drive phase and have a clean extraction with little splashed water showing mechanical efficiency. Many athletes find they go faster using Drehers.
