Racing boats often called shells are long, narrow, and broadly semi circular in cross section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. They usually have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw. Originally made from wood , shells are now almost always made from a composite material usually carbon fibre reinforced plastic for strength and weight advantages. The riggers in sculling apply the forces symmetrically to each side of the boat. Quad sculls is one of the classes recognized by the International Rowing Federation and the Olympic Games Olympics . ref http www.worldrowing.com index.php?pageid 27 FISA World Rowing Olympic Games ref FISA rules specify minimum weights for each class of boat so that no individual will gain a great advantage from the use of expensive materials or technology.

refimprove date May 2011 Merge to Multiple buffering date July 2011 Quad buffering is a technology for implementing Stereoscopy stereoscopic frame rendering in computer graphics . For stereoscopic rendering, each eye must receive a separate image. Quad buffering uses double buffering with a front buffer and back buffer for each eye, totaling four buffers Left front buffer Left back buffer Right front buffer Right back buffer Similarly to the v sync in 2D mode, quad buffering allows to swap the front and back buffers for both eyes in sync, allowing the display to seamless work with different rendering frame rates. Quad buffering requires special support by the graphic card and is therefore not available on many low cost models. 3D standards like OpenGL ref http www.opengl.org registry doc glspec30.20080811.pdf OpenGL 3.0 Specification, Chapter 4 ref and Direct3D support quad buffering.
