Is it possible to paddle a boat with one oar?
someone said if you paddle a boat with one oar, you will only go around in circles. Is that true?
Since we ar talking about (I guess) a row boat, not a kayak or canoe, the right word is “row” the boat, not paddle it. And, of course you can row with one oar. You don’t row off the beams like you would with two oars, you row off the stern. It is called “sculling” This is exactly how the one oared Gondolas in Venice are propelled. There are hundreds of places where it is done all the time, particularly in shallow waters with light currents. Native fisherman from the Bahamas to the Gulf of Aden can row fine, with one oar over the transom.

Any old water man knows that. read the link, particularly the section on “single oar sculling”
