single scull
A single scull is a type of rowing boat designed for one person. It is narrow and long, allowing for efficient movement through the water. The rower uses two oars, one in each hand, to propel the boat forward. Single sculls are commonly used in competitive rowing, including events like the Olympics.
In a single scull, the rower sits in a fixed seat and uses a sliding mechanism to enhance their stroke. This design helps maximize speed and stability. Single sculls are popular among both recreational and professional rowers, providing a challenging yet rewarding experience on the water.
