They are built with a curved bottom so that it can stay above water.
Well, if you're talking sweeping, then a pair is as small as it gets (2 people, one oar each). To get bigger, there are fours (four people, one oar each) and eights (eight people, one oar each)
But it you're sculling, then you can have a single (one person, two oars), a double (two people, two oars each), or a quad (four people, two oars each).
Most of the dictionaries refer to an oarsman (oarsmen) as a person who rows, especially as a member of a team. However, one dictionary did provide the terms oarsman, oarswoman.
1. Excavation of the soil up to required depth.
2. Ramming the foundation bed.
3. Cutting the concrete over the reinforcement.
4. Laying the reinforcement over the the foundation bed.
5. Pouring the cement concrete over the reinforcement.

Depends on the year and state of purchase. Most older boats came without titles. When you register it into your name the state will issue you a new title.
The risks of rafting are similar to any outdoor sport and can be mitigated through careful technique and proper training. To understand the risks, you must first understand the sport.
The Nature of RaftingYou can go rafting on large volume rivers, small creeks, and even reservoirs. You can choose to participate in thrilling, class V whitewater trips, or stay on flatwater and just enjoy the scenery and fishing opportunities. Either way, you will probably be in a remote area where cell phone signals and roads can be hard to come by. In deep canyons on multi-day trips, the only way to access help may be through satellite phones or hiking out.Most people raft on large, inflatable, rubber or PVC boats with either paddles or oars. Paddle boats tend to be lighter and more maneuverable, but may be more prone to flips. Oar rigs, generally larger boats with a wooden or metal frame, are heavier. However, because they tend to carry gear, there are more opportunities to get injured by things on the raft itself.
A rafting trip can last from a few hours to several weeks. On the Arkansas River in Colorado, the most commercially rafted stretch of river in North America, trips are generally about 1/2 a day to 1 day and may last from 13 to 17 miles. The whitewater is swift with little time for recovery during high flows. Hazards include rocks, large hydraulics, and man-made features such as metal that has fallen from the train tracks into the river.
The RisksStatistically speaking, you are more likely to get injured getting on or off the boat than sitting in it. I've listed a few examples of possible risks to rafting below, the the list is not comprehensive. These are the areas we emphasize in our safety talks.The most deadly rapid in the Grand Canyon is not the class 10 Lava Falls, or the notorious Crystal rapid, but the small class 2 riffle at the bottom of one of the more popular hikes. People wade into the water without any rescue device and are swept downstream by strong currents which catch them offguard. Rule #1 then - always wear your personal flotation device (PFD)
I am a raft guide on the Colorado River and have boated all across the west. I have swam big rapids, been in a flipped boat, injured myself on shore, and dealt with wrap situations. Stuff happens on the river, but don't let it scare you. Have a good time! Rafting is, after all, an adventure sport.
In order to successfully navigate whitewater one must have a general understanding of physics and fluid dynamics. You must be able to predict how certain currents and river features will affect the vessel, whether it be inflatable raft or kayak. Professional whitewater guides refer to this as "reading water".
Apart from the above, science, engineering specifically, has made navigation of more difficult whitewater possible due to more advanced boat designs. The advent of the inflatable floor in whitewater rafts moved the sport forward by allowing the vessel to "self-bail". This made running bigger more sustained rivers safer and easier. Kayaks are constantly evolving in design with boats becoming more specialized over the years. Whitewater kayaks are now divided into 4 categories: Runners,play boats,creek boats and cross boats. Runners are used for top to bottom class IV and below rivers. Play boats are designed for free-style kayaking. Creek boats are engineered for the most extreme conditions which include very steep gradient rivers and creeks with serious consequences. Cross boats take some of the best features of runners and free-style kayaks and blend them into one unique design allowing for "free-running". Science has made the modern sport of running whitewater river possible, and it will continue to dictate the limits of the sport far into the future. So get out there and get wet!
Historically, the best wood for ANY boat was: Whatever was most available. Various types of plywood coated with fiberglass is an excellent choice.
