What is the command to get the oars out of the boat?

The key idea is to use a command that clearly tells the crew to take the oars out of their storage and get them ready to use. Saying “Out oars” does exactly that: it directs you to remove the oars from their stowage and place them in position for rowing. The other phrases describe putting oars away or lifting them without necessarily indicating retrieval and preparation, so they don’t convey the immediate action needed to start rowing.
