Sculling a boat like a Pirate...Arrg!



Sculling 

On some small dinghies and boats there is a notch in the transom for an oar. For years I thought it was just for decoration, but it is a functional notch and it is used in sculling the boat. Sculling is a way of moving a boat with just one oar. The classic Italian gondola is propelled by sculling.

It is not as easy to scull as one might think. The clip on this link shows and tells what sculling can do:
