The present invention relates to a rowing boat (101, 101b, 101c, 101d, 111, 111b) comprising a hull (102), at least one footrest (104) for a rower's feet, at least one outrigger (105) for at least one oar, wherein the outrigger (105) is rigidly connected to the footrest (104). The boat comprises at least one first guide element (201, 202; 801, 802, 805, 806; 805b, 905, 900) which is adapted to allow the free translation of the footrest (104) and of the outrigger (105) in a direction parallel to the advancement of the boat during rowing, and at least one seat (103) for the rower. The boat further comprises at least one second guide element (203, 204; 807) adapted to allow the seat (103) to translate in the same direction during rowing, and at least one elastic element (205, 405) that connects the seat (103) to the hull (102), the elastic element being configured to exert a pulling force for the propulsion of the hull (102), this pulling force transferring energy accumulated by the thrust imparted by the rower.
