[Rhodes22-list] Sculling oar? ?for Bob Fletcher ?for Bob Weber

[Tootle]

Bob Fletcher,
     I tried the web site that you referenced.  Does that reference work for
you?  I could not fine the sculling reference.

Bob Skinner,
      The next time you sail your boat, put the bottom of the rudder at
about 45 degrees and try sculling.  You do not need a special oar.  You will
scare poor Dave off with the words of a special oar and oarlock.  The R22
sculls quite fine with the rudder angled a little up.  Try it.  Just
remember it is forward and forward turns only.  This technique does work for
docking.

Bob Weber
       Do you teach your students how to scull the R22?
