Thanks for the reminder Thom.... I've been eyeing the rudder sock on the
stern of the dory. I understand it's purpose is to use an oar as a rudder
when sailing it. I'm wondering as to how it would work as a sculling port.
I've got 13 foot sculls but the exit is much lower than the notch on the top
of the transom. Is the elevation of the sculling oar important?
I kind of "scull" one oar when I need to crab sideways allowing me to ship
or unship the opposing oar while coming alongside.

I'll see if I can get some instruction at the Wooden Boat Festival....
