A single scull is a type of rowing boat designed for one person. It is long and narrow, 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 and recreational activities. In competitive settings, single sculls are often seen in events like the Olympics and various rowing championships. The design of the boat emphasizes speed and agility, making it a popular choice among skilled rowers. Proper technique and balance are essential for maximizing performance in a single scull.
