Pat,
Rowers are not Paddlers, and vice versa.
Paddlers paddle canoes, kayaks, rafts and dragonboats AND SIT FACING FORWARD.
Their paddles are not rigged to their boats.
Rowers a.k.a. scullers SIT FACING AFTERWARD
and their oars are rigged to their boats.
Rowing Canada / FISA
Canoe Kayak Canada / ICF
Dragonboat Canada / IDBF
are the domestic and world sport governing bodies for competitive rowing and paddling.
