Abstract
An improved oarlock system having a sleeve that is attached to an oar, a set of cam blocks installed in the sleeve that can be moved to adjust the inboard of an oar, an oarlock that is positioned over the sleeve so that it contacts the cam blocks. There are several combinations of sleeve type and cam block available for use. The oarlock can be fitted to different sized pins. Pitch of the oar can be easily adjusted using the oarlock and sleeves. Improvements in the use of the sleeves, cam blocks and oarlock permit replacement of worn parts and increased stability of the components when in use as well.
