  • One

  • Two

Answer

In a double scull boat, each rower uses two oars, one in each hand. This type of rowing boat is designed for two people, with each rower sitting side by side and facing forward. The oars are long and thin, and they are attached to the boat by oarlocks. When rowing, the rowers dip their oars into the water and pull them back towards the boat, propelling it forward.
