scullers

Solo boat propellers

Scullers are rowers who use two oars, one in each hand, rather than a single oar held with both hands.

The term also refers to the boats designed for this style of rowing: The scullers glided past in their narrow shells.

A sculler may compete in singles, doubles, or quads.
