This is a rigged skiff model. The Skiff itself is rigged with bones for different parts and also bones for oar brackets that are already animated to match the rowing cycle of the oars. The oars are set with their  center point set to the middle of the oar brackets, but are not rigged with the skiff for easier movement in setting up still life scenes without a figure rowing. Texture maps are hand painted and do not use tiling, to give a more realistic look.
