Pitching Jig Basics
Set pitch on sleeve to '0' degrees
-
Place oar face down on a jig or a block of wood as per diagram below. Place a level in the centre of the sleeve, (image right).
-
If the level on the sleeve is less than 1/2 degree out it needs to be scraped to 0 degrees. If sleeve is too far out it may need to be removed and/or if too worn it may need to be replaced.
Pitching the Boat
-
Level boat bow to stern. Chock riggers to keep boat firm. Place level inside the boat on beam (across the boat) to check level.
-
Pins also need to be vertical both ways as per diagram.
-
Place 4 degree inserts into swivels and then place swivels on and you are ready to row!
