a tool used by rowers to propel and steer a boat through the water
An oar is a long, flat tool used to row or steer a boat. It typically has a handle on one end and a broad blade on the other. The blade is placed in the water and pushed or pulled to move the boat forward. Oars are commonly used in rowing, where the rower alternates using them to propel the boat. They can be used individually or in pairs, depending on the type of boat. The design allows for efficient movement through the water, offering control and speed.
