A carousing (often also they say "raking" or, generally speaking, "rowing") - the correct (steering) oar . It is made of logs 20-25 meters long.
The carcass is hung from the stern and from the bow of the baroque and other river vessels of the Baroque type on steel (previously - wooden) pins [1] . An optional third piece attached to the side is called drift.
A chaff is used to control the course of the vessel by raking in the direction transverse to the course.
In the 19th century, amusement as a mechanism for controlling the course of a ship was replaced by outboard rudders.
Currently used on rafts for rafting on small and stormy rivers.
