What Sets Us Apart
Innovative Designs
Dreher carbon fiber parts are made from premium quality carbon fiber prepreg with all designs done in-house as well as the tooling and manufacturing. Dreher was the innovator for the adjustable oar, use of carbon in the handle, blades, and shafts, and
autoclaving of the shafts.
Dreher leads the market with the use of an aerodynamic elliptical shaft, which minimizes drag in the last third of the shaft. In 2016 we began offering the revolutionary tool-free adjustment on all Dreher adjustable sculling oars. This feature allows on-the-water adjustment. The latest feature is a nut locking latch on the nut that moves the sleeve/collar assembly in and out. We offer three styles of sculls and one sweep with the tool-free adjustment and elliptical shaft.
2021 began selling a new Hex Design of foot stretcher design is extremely stiff and light-weight. This Hex Foot Stretcher has three sizes of shoe plates and two heel support plate sizes. The foot stretcher is telescopic and the angle can be adjusted. The height of the plate is adjustable. Within the shoe plate, the splay angle can be adjusted and fixed. The heel support can also be moved up and down to accommodate different shoe sizes. The crossbar length can be changed depending on the width of the boat.
