This is what we call a gentleman's sculling boat, which is a little bit more heavy, wider, deeper, stronger, and will take a bit more bashing than the racing boat.
And as for Windsor, he said nothing till I lay on my oars (for I was sculling then) in Clewer reach, and looking up, said, " What is all that building up there" ?
Huang An was sculling his boat, but he had not gone far when he saw near the bank a boat on which was Liu Tang who reached out a hook to draw Huang An's boat and alighted upon it.
