I presume most boats have a rudder that is attached in some way to the rest of the boat. So there is somewhere to rest a scull.
And of course Welsh sailors, used to crossing the ocean in their coracles know that you can scull without the oar/paddle touching the boat! |

To scull a boat, you need a transom. That rules out many of the boats owned by people on here!

As a proud member of the DCA, and owner of a boat that has no outboard... we scull and row as necessary.
And I use a rolling hitch to apply a block and tackle to the jib halliard if I want to tighten it. A rolling hitch is also essential on bigger boats if you get a riding turn on a winch. |

Yes, they call themselves the Dinghy Cruising Association. They have no need of sculling as if the wind is below 7 knots or above 10 knots they fire up the outboard motor. |

Rolling hitch - useful when flying. A length of rope instead of a belt, tiedwith a rolling hitch... infinitely adjustable and passes through the scanner.
Probably the most useful knot I know. Gordon PS Are here really sailors who don(t know how to scull? How do they manage? |

Here's a rather handy website http://www.animatedknots.com/ Just watch those knots tie themselves!
