5. I'll try again; in rowing the rower faces to the rear and in sculling the sculler faces forwards. Same as I said before but explained differently

You may be right of course but my answer is. The sculler uses two oars and the rower only one. (sounds odd to me but then I know nothing about boats. ) cheers Penny :grouphug:
