Stern sculling is the use of a single oar over the stern of a boat to propel it with side-to-side motions that create forward lift in the water.[1] The strict terminology of propulsion by oar is complex and contradictory, and varies by context. Stern sculling may also simply be referred to as "sculling", most commonly so in a maritime situation. In fresh water, and particularly in sport rowing, sculling is use of two oars on either side of the boat by each person, in contrast to sweep rowing, whereby each boat crew member employs a single oar, complemented by another crew member working on the opposite side with their oar.[2][3][4]: 135 [5]
