Instrument for propelling a rowing boat forward.
A lever used to propel and steer a boat through water, consisting of a long shaft of wood with a blade at one end.
Also called the sweep, if pulled by one or more rowers using both hands, or a "scull" if one hand, that the rower pulls through the water to move the boat. About 12 feet long. The section between the end of the handle and the point at which the oar passes through the oarlock is called the inboard - of the oar or the scull; - the rest, out to the tip of the blade, is called the outboard.
A long, thin pole with a blade at the end used to propel a boat; not a paddle, which does not need oarlocks.
about twelve-feet long, the lever that the oarsman uses to propel the shell through the water. The distance between the end of the handle and the oarlock is called the inboard, while the part remaining, out to the tip of the blade, is called the outboard.
a long pole with a hand grip at one end and a broad, flat blade at the other. It is positioned in a U-shaped notch called an oarlock which adds power from leverage.

A pole with a flat section, known as the blade, near the end, used for propelling a boat through the water.
A wooden lever used to pull a boat through the water. It has three parts, the blade that makes contact with the water; the shaft, the main length of the oar and the loom, the end on which the rower pulls.
a leaver approximately 3800 mm long by which the rower pulls against the rowlock to move the boat through the water; sometimes used as a shortened form of oarsman
Used to drive the boat forward: rowers do not use paddles.
for rowing with one 'stick', as opposed to 'sculling', with two. An oar is usually 371 to 375cm long, (depending on suitability to the skill and strength of the oarsman).
A lever used to propel the boat forward.
An oar is an implement used for water-borne propulsion. Oars have a flat blade at one end. The oarsmen grasp the oar at the other end.
In sport rowing, oars are used to propel the boat. Sculling oars are around 284cm - 290cm in length and rowing oars 370cm - 376cm long. The shaft of the oar ends with one flat end about 50 cm long and 25 cm wide, called the blade.
