A rower who uses two oars at the same time, one in each hand; this allows smaller boats to be rowed sculling, than sweep rowing. A pair being the smallest sweep boat with two people each with one oar. A single being the smallest sculling boat, with one person but two oars
To avoid confusion sweep and scull boats are named differently, a four man sweep boat is called simply "four", while a four man sculling boat is called " Quadruple scull" or just "quad"
The abbreviation for sculling boats is the number of rowers in the boat followed by an "x" to denote a scull then a "+" or "-" to denote coxed boats to coxless boats
Coxed Quadruple scull is "4x+"
Coxless Quadruple scull is "4x-"
Rowing that uses two small oars (one on each side) instead of one large one, which is called sweeping.
This can occur in a single, a double, and a quad. Doubles and quads are called pairs and fours when sweeping, but one person could never sweep because you would travel around in circles.
The sculling races will be on Saturday, while sweeping will be on Sunday.
