When it comes to rowing, what does "scull" refer to?

  • The boat

  • The oar

  • The rower

  • The seat

Answer

Sculling refers to a specific technique used in rowing where each rower handles two oars, one in each hand, unlike the more prevalent sweep rowing where each oarsman uses a single oar with both hands. The term "scull" can also be used to describe the type of oar used in sculling, which is shorter and features a smaller blade compared to sweep oars.
