An oar is a long pole with a flat blade at one end, used for rowing a boat or controlling its direction in the water. Oars are typically used in pairs, with one oar on each side of the boat, to propel it forward by pushing against the water.
How do you back a rowing boat for crew?
In order to back a rowing boat, the rowers twist the oar handle 180 degrees turning the blade (end of the oar) around backwards. Then the rowing stroke is done in reverse. The blade is placed in the water toward the stern, then the rower pushes (rather than pulls) the oar handle away from their chest sending the blade through the water toward the bow of the boat. As long as each rower that is "backing" is paired with another rower that holds an oar on the opposite side of the boat who is also backing, this motion will "back" the boat down, rather than send it forward.
What is the stern of the boat?

What is a oar plier?
An oar plier, also known as an oarlock or oar clip, is a device used to secure an oar to a boat, allowing the oar to pivot while rowing. It typically consists of a metal or plastic loop or socket that holds the oar in place, enabling rowers to efficiently propel the boat. Oar pliers come in various designs, including those that can be easily adjusted or released for quick removal of the oar. They are essential for maintaining control and stability during rowing activities.
