Answer 2

An oar propelled boat is a row boat. usually a flat or semi v john boat. Rowing teams use boats called a skull.

There is a difference between oars and paddles, which everyone else here seems to think are the same thing. A paddle is what you use to paddle a canoe. An oar is what you use to row a boat.

Answer 3

Oars must be paired, with one oar applied to each side of the boat. When two hands of one person man a single oar, this is referred to as rowing using a sweep oar. Whereas, when one person mans a pair of blades, one hand controlling each, this is referred to as sculling using a pair of sculls rather than oars. A scull refers to a boat that is rigged for sculling. So there are sculling and rowing techniques within the broader generic activity known as "rowing" a boat. Therefore, another main distinction between paddling and rowing is that a person holding only a single blade paddle can propel or paddle a boat forward, backward, or sidewards in a straight line without switching paddling sides, whereas there generally must be a pair of oars or sculls (held by either one or two people) in order to efficiently move the boat forward in a straight line.
