What does RANDAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
nauticalinformal
A boat rowed by three people, with the two end rowers each using a single oar and the middle rower using two.
A randan differs from an ordinary rowing boat in exactly how the three rowers share the oars: the bow and stroke positions each pull one oar, while the rower seated between them handles a pair, giving the boat four oars worked by three people in total. Rowing clubs on English rivers still race in a randan as a distinct class alongside pairs, fours, and eights. Away from the water, British and Irish speakers also use randan informally in the phrase on the randan, meaning out celebrating or enjoying a lively, often boisterous night out. The two senses share little beyond the word itself, one naming a specific boat, the other a spree.
How RANDAN is used
A specialist term for a three-rower boat in traditional rowing, and separately an informal British and Irish phrase for a night of celebration.
- The rowing club entered a randan in the afternoon races.
