In partnership with NH Humanities, the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will welcome rower, coach and engineer Jim Dreher to its 2021 Virtual Lecture Series on Thursday, November 11 at 7 p.m.
Having founded UNH/Durham Rowing Company, Dover Boat Club, and Dover Boat Company, Dreher is regarded as responsible for revolutionizing rowing with the introduction of the carbon composite oar. “He introduced high-performance carbon composite parts and has developed a wealth of experience with the sport,” noted NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.
At the lecture, Dreher will discuss his racing experience time spent as a coach on the world stage. The lecture, entitled, The Technological Revolution in Rowing takes place on Thursday, November 11 at 7 p.m. Access to the free virtual lecture will be available at nhbm.org.
This project was made possible with support from New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Learn more at nhhumanities.org.
