The correct method has everyone pulling in the same direction like in this schema:

If they all pull, then the oars move through the water to the left, thereby propelling the ship to the right.
In contrast, in the post, everyone pulling exerts a force that is counter clockwise around the vertical axis of the ship.

In your schema, how do they turn left/right?
