Best Answer

For a an 8 boat you need 8 rowers + 1 coxswain. For a 4 boat you need 4 rowers and 1 coxswain. If you skull (use 2 oars instead of 1) then you can row a single, a two or a four. Those boats do not need a coxswain because the bow seat rower is in charge of stearing the boat.

It depends how you define team, if you define team as one crew, which i am going to assume, then it goes a little like this Sculling - where each person holds two oars - Single - one person. Double - two people. Quad - Four people + coxswain. Sweep - where each person holds one oar - Pair - two people. Four - Four people + coxswain. Eight - Eight people + coxswain

K first of all you don't PLAY rowing you just do it. second of all the answer is 8 in 1 boat that's as big as they get. but you can get all the way down to 1 person in a boat. They might make bigger boats but their not very common and their would be very few competitions for them

There is no set crew amount for rowing competitions. Generally, it depends on the size of the competition area. The majority of Olympic courses have 8 racing lanes and additional safety lanes.

The number of people needed for a rowing team depends largely on the type of boat. An 8 boat, for example, requires 8 individual rowers as well as a coxswain at the helm.
