Effective bladework depends on the blade pitch - the angle between the vertical and the blade (measured at a certain cross-section) during the drive, which depends on three components: - The blade pitch relative to the load plate of the sleeve is usually set by manufacturers (standard 0o) and can hardly be changed by the user. - The gate pitch is the angle between its load plate and the pin, which can be adjusted using plastic inserts supplied with the oarlock and remains constant during the drive. Usually set at 4o. - The pitch of the pin is the most complicated component, it can be measured in frontal (fore-aft pitch) and transverse (lateral pitch) planes. The pin pitch affects the gate and blade pitches during the drive, varying them.
