Single sculls are a type of rowing boat designed for one person. They are narrow and long, allowing for efficient movement through the water. Each rower uses two oars, one in each hand, to propel the boat forward. This type of boat is commonly used in competitive rowing events, including the Olympics. In single sculls, the rower sits in a fixed seat and uses a sliding mechanism to enhance their stroke. The design of the boat helps to minimize drag, making it faster and more agile. Single sculls require a high level of skill and technique, as the rower must balance the boat while maintaining a powerful stroke.
