Rowboat plans
Rowing is the act of propelling a boat using the motion of oars in the water by displacing water to propel the boat forward. Rowing and paddling are similar. However, rowing requires oars to have a mechanical connection with the boat, while paddles (used for paddling) are hand-held and have no mechanical connection.
In some strict terminologies, using oars for propulsion may be termed either “pulling” or “rowing”, with different definitions for each.
