∙ 14y agoSculling refers exclusively to rowing where the rower has 2 separate oars, whereas crew rowing typically refers to sweep rowing where each rower has just one oar.
The distinction being that a sculler can be (but doesn't have to be) a single rower, while a sweep rower must be part of a 'crew', i.e. more than one rower in a boat.
