From the Sammamish rowing Associatioon:

" There are two types of boats or shells used in rowing, sweep boats and sculling boats. In sweep rowing, each rower uses only one oar. In sculling, the rower used two smaller oars, or sculls. Sweep boats can have two, four, or eight rowers. Sculling boats have one, two, or four rowers"

What, nobody watches the Dad Vail regatta?
