Problems solved by technology

The reasoning behind this loss of interest is the lack of any kind of stay cables or side stays, they have to be built entirely in carbon and are too heavy and expensive, they vibrate like fishing rods in bad weather, and they don't allow stowage Headsail for the use of hand rollers for light winds or to follow the wind

Embodiment Construction

[0071] As we said before, the present invention is about rigging for sailing boats. It comprises one or more sails bent towards the mast and towards a common yard, which rotate about a longitudinal axis (14) to suit different wind directions. The main feature of the invention is that the top of the mast (2) is stabilized by several side stays and / or stays (7) which tie said top of the mast to one of the vessel's or decks, these shrouds and / or stays are external to the swivel rigging so that the swivel rigging can rotate freely, even over 360° if desired. It also allows the fixed headsail to bend.

[0072] Because of this, the volume created by the rigging is free of shrouds and / or stays when turning, which would limit or stop each turn, as happens in conventional sailboats.

[0073] In a more specific form, as in figure 1 , which shows a perspective view of a conventional sailing trimaran with the rotating rigging of the present invention, comprising a mast (2), a common ya...

Abstract

The invention relates to a stabilised rotary sail rigging for vessels, formed by a mast, a boom perpendicular to the mast and one or more sails bent on the shared boom and on the mast. The rigging canrotate freely, with all the elements that form same, about a vertical shaft, with the important and novel feature that the top of the mast is stabilised by means of shrouds and / or stays that tie sameto the periphery of the deck or decks of the boat, without preventing the rotation of the rotary rigging about the vertical shaft. The stabilisation of the top of the mast also allows fixed headsailsto be used.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is a sail rigging for boats that combines the advantages of a self-supporting rotating rigging (capable of rotating around itself even more than 360°) with the simplicity and strength of rigging (stabilized by shrouds and stay cables) combined with the advantages of being able to use a fixed headsail. Background technique [0002] On traditional sail rigging, with the mainsail at the rear and one or more headsails at the front, the lateral stability of the rigging is achieved by utilizing side sails placed at either side of the mast substantially perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the vessel. network of stays and internal side stays. This prevents the yard of the mainsail from extending beyond this transverse network, and thus leads to the following results: [0003] *Dangerous change of sail may occur [0004] *In order to raise, furl, or lower the mainsail, the boat must go into the wind; this is a dangerous process in...
