Yes, it is all three classes of lever depending on the point in the stroke. Your hands are the fulcrums and the oar is the beam.
If you use oarlocks then it is a first class lever with the fulcrum in the center.
If you use it as a paddle then it is a third class lever with the fulcrum as mentioned before in the hand opposite the load.

A friend tells you that a rowboat is propelled forward by the force of its oars against the water First explain wheather the statement is correct and then identify the action and reaction and reac?
He is incorrect. Newton's 3rd law states that any force has an equal and opposite force. This means he pushes back on the water with the oars (normal), and this creates a forward normal force on the oars pushing the oars and the boat forward.

What is a rowboat made of?
A rowboat is the North American term for what the British term is a rowing boat. A rowing boat is a small boat propelled by the use of oars. It can be made from wood planks set in clinker (overlapping planks) or carvel (planks butted against each other and creating a smooth surface).

Can a 2500 lb sailboat be rowed with oars?
Yes. Oars are like levers. As Archimedes said: "Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world." It may not be the best way to drive a sailboat (why not use the sails?), but in an emergency, or where there is no wind, it may be the only alternative to an outboard motor. Many sailboats are equiped with oars or paddles for emergencies.
