No-one right to paddle? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oar

'paddle?' is the definition.
(paddle is a kind of oar)

'no-one right' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'one right' becomes 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues).
'o'+'ar'='OAR'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for oar that I've seen before include "Rowing boat operator" , "Boat propellant" , "Implement to propel a boat" , "It ends in blade" , "Sweep" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
