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

[Bob Fletcher]

Bob Skinner -

When I clicked the link from my own copy of my message it worked.  If that 
doesn't work for you though,  you might try just www.simplicityboats.com  , 
then scroll down on the right until you get to "Yuloh info," When you click 
on the "primary" Wooden Boat link it won't work but if you hit "another copy 
here" it should bring up the article.

I found a few other articles that explained you can reverse too.  I had no 
idea there was such a worldwide use of sculling as the primary propulsion of 
fairly big craft.

Hope this works for you.
