So you're talking about pitch of the prop as inches per revolution and not
pitch as angle of the prop shaft?
That's going off on a tangent as those talking about pitch angle in this
thread are talking about the angle of the prop shaft from the horizontal
or at least that's the impression I got.

You are confused then. Propeller pitch is the distance a prop would screw
itself forward in one revolution if there was no slip.
I noticed from your earlier post that your 'bluewater yacht' has an outboard
on the stern. ROFL
