Watercraft rowing

With regard to watercraft, rowing is the act of propelling a boat using the motion of oars in the water. The difference between paddling and rowing is that with rowing the oars have a mechanical connection with the boat whereas with paddling the paddles are hand-held with no mechanical connection.This article deals with general rowing including the recreational, transportation and utility aspects of rowing, rather than Sport rowing which is a specialized case of racing using strictly regulated equipment.
