🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a steering oar compared to regular pulling oars • Where steering control is most effective on a small boat like a lifeboat • Physical differences between a steering oar and the other oars in the boat

💭 Think About

• Think about how you steer a small boat: where should the steering force be applied for best control—near the bow or near the stern? • If one oar is dedicated to steering, would it make sense for it to be the same size, shorter, or longer than the others to give better leverage? • Which crew position in a lifeboat would logically handle the steering oar?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where the steering position normally is in a lifeboat (bow, middle, or stern) • Consider whether the steering oar needs extra length for leverage and control • Check which answer choices confuse the job of rowing for propulsion with controlling direction/steering
