What is pitch? And how to measure it

​In this video, Ken demonstrates what the pitch of the boat is. He shows how to measure it and why it's essential. Many components create the final pitch value. Unless you know what they are, you won't get the right number.

The pitch of the boat is the angle of the blade throughout the stroke. Many people try to approximate the pitch by measuring it on the rigger, but this gives an incomplete view. In this video, Ken shows you what you need to know for an enjoyable row.
