70% to passWhat does the boat command "Oars" mean?
A
complete the stroke and bring the oars horizontal, blades feathered
B
place the oars in the boat with blades forward
C
lift the oars to a vertical position
D
place the oars in the rowlocks directly from the boated position
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) complete the stroke and bring the oars horizontal, blades feathered. The command "Oars" is a standard boat handling command used to direct the rowers to complete their stroke and bring the oars to a horizontal, feathered position. This allows the oars to be held steady and ready for the next command, rather than leaving them vertical or boated. The other options do not properly describe the action required for the "Oars" command according to standard boat handling procedures.
