Rowing boats (also known as 'shells'), are named according to how many rowers they carry and whether the rowers have one or two oars each. 'Singles', or 'single sculls' have one rower with two small oars (sculls). 'doubles', or 'double sculls' have two rowers with two sculls each. 'quads', or 'quadruple sculls' have four rowers with two sculls each. A 'pair', or 'pair oar' has two rowers with one oar each. 'fours' have four rowers with one oar each. 'eights' have eight rowers with one oar each. Eights always carry a coxswain. Fours, pairs and quads can sometimes carry coxswains. These are called 'coxed' boats. boats can also carry names, usually on the bow, to commemorate special events or people in the club to which it belongs.
The person who rows (using oars) is an oarsman, generally.
For competitive rowing (sculling), the rowers are inclusively scullers.
For gondolas (generally single-oar water taxis), the rower is a gondolier.
a coxwain. or cox'n. sometimes it is even abbrieviated all the way down to cox.
The coach is the most important leader... followed by the coxswin and then the stroke of the boat...
You use oars to row and steer a boat. They both propel the boat forward, and depending on the direction and side of the boat on which you row, they also control the direction.
The original gondolas were lovely passenger boats made to be used in the canals of the city of Venice in Italy. A "gondolier" stood on the rear of the boat, looking forward, and rowed.
