Rowing with One Oar (sculling)

5/8/2019

Most rowers know that sculling is what you do with a pair of sculls (oars), one in each hand, but sculling also means rowing using one oar off the transom, as shown in this video. I shot this video in Mystic, CT. while sculling my rowboat (I won't call it a scull) using my feet. The rowboat in the video is a Swampscott Dory, which can also be sailed. By the way, we will be displaying at the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic June 24-26, 2016.

Scull is a weird word with so many meanings that it's almost meaningless. But in the nautical sense it can mean: a method of rowing, a boat for rowing, or an oar. Or a different method of rowing.

Most of us have heard the statement, "You can scull your scull with a pair of sculls." or something like that.

Well, I would add to it: "or a single scull."

Fantastic video and overview of sculling techniques! It's always intriguing to see the different forms rowing can take, whether on open water or indoors. Speaking of which, for those of us who may not have easy access to a body of water or a boat, rowing machines offer a great alternative. They can mimic the full-body workout provided by water rowing, making it accessible to everyone. It's a seamless transition from traditional sculling to indoor rowers for fitness enthusiasts looking to maintain their rowing technique year-round. Plus, indoor rowing machines are a staple at many fitness centers and can be a great introduction to the sport for beginners.
