You can row a pair, which is two people with two oars a four, which is four rowers with four oars or an eight, which is eight rowers with eight oars. Most fours and all eights require a coxswain, the person in the back of the boat who steers and calls commands.
Sculling is the rowing with two oars for each person.
There is an octet, which is eight people with 16 oars. It considered to be too fast and dangerous to race, though you may see an exhibition of this boat at larger races. BCR does not have sculling equipment at this time. If you prefer to scull, we suggest you contact Rocky Mountain Rowing Club . They have much better sculling resources.
