I was in a rowboat once with two friends on a lake that was partially frozen. I’ll call my friends Ed and Al (not their real names). Ed and Al were rowing, and Ed dropped his oar. He couldn’t reach it, so he asked Al for his oar and tried to use it to reach the one he dropped. Of course, he dropped that one too. Ed was going to jump in to get the oars, but Al was trying to hold him back, saying: “The water’s too cold, you’ll get cramps”. Meanwhile, I noticed which way we were drifting, and said: "If we just wait, the oars will drift to the edge of the ice, and we will too. Then we can push ourselves along the ice until we reach the oars. apparently, neither of the others heard me, and Ed jumped in. You should have seen the look on his face. He couldn’t move and Al and I had to pull him back into the boat. Eventually, we did drift over to the ice and retrieved the oars, and we got back to shore where Ed could put on some dry clothes and get warm. Everyone was ok, but it is a memory I will never forget.

Apparently they have not yet discovered the method of “paddling” that involves putting your legs in the water and kicking your feet.

They do look a little like sails, but I don’t think they can catch the wind with them.
