Description

Gréement réglable ne nécessitant pas de haubanage. Adjustable rigging requiring no guying.
L'invention concerne les gréements pour navire à propulsion vélique ; ce gréement est spécialement adapté aux multicoques.The invention relates to the rigging for a ship with a vélique propulsion; this rig is specially adapted for multihulls.
Un gréement classique comprend un mat, proche de la verti¬ cale, sur lequel se gréent une ou plusieurs voiles. Les réglages s'effectuent principalement en agissant sur l'orientation et la tension des voiles par rapport au mat, les mats étant principale¬ ment fixes et étayés à l'aide d'un haubannage travaillant unila¬ téralement en traction, avec de fortes compressions sur le mat. Le brevet enregistré sous le numéro 82 18537 (classement 2 535 671) décrit un système destiné à abattre le mat en naviga- tion fluviale, le dit mat étant constitu d'un gréement classique non prévu pour être réglable en tant que gréement dans son ensem¬ ble. Le principe de soutènement ne fait que participer à l'étayag du mat. Le brevet enregistré sous le numéro 83 10713 (classementA classic rig comprises a mast, close to the vertical, on which one or more sails are rigged. The adjustments are mainly made by acting on the orientation and the tension of the sails with respect to the mast, the masts being mainly fixed and supported by a shroud working unila¬ terally in traction, with strong compressions. on the mat.

The forces are then transferred only to the gantry, which must be rigidly fixed to the boat or guyed.
Le brevet enregistré.sous le numéro 82 21332 (classement 2 537 9 3) décrit un gréement dont la voile, bornée, se règle comm une voile classique, le portique étant monté rigidement sur le bateau. C'est un système destiné à incliner latéralement le plan de voilure par rapport au plan de symétrie longitudinale du batea Cette invention, spécialement étudiée, d'après l'auteur, pour les multicoques, doit permettre de maintenir la verticalité du plan de voilure lorsque le catamaran gite. Or un catamaran qui gite, chose acceptable sur un catamaran léger de sport où un retourne¬ ment du bateau a peu de conséquences sur la sécurité des équipier est extrêmement dangereux en croisière ou en course hauturiέre ca 1= stabilité des multicoques décroît très rapidement au-delà de 20 à 5 degrés pour s'annuler vers 45 à 80 degrés, entraînant un chavir .ge irrémédiable. En dehors de ce point, le système n'appor te rien de sensiblemen nouveau concernant les réglages des voile selon la force et la direction du vent. De plus, une structure téléscopique du mat ne lui permettra plus de travailler à la compression, tous les efforts étant al . ~ répartis sur le portique fixe pa - l'intermédiaire d'une aπicul_- tion fixe. Des pieds télescopiques diminuent la résistance du dit portique aux efforts qu'il doit supporter ou l'alourdissent, donc diminuent la stabilité du bateau.The patent registered under number 82 21332 (classification 2 537 9 3) describes a rigging whose sail, limited, is set like a conventional sail, the gantry being rigidly mounted on the boat. It is a system intended to tilt the sail plane laterally with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the boat. This invention, specially studied, according to the author, for multihulls, must make it possible to maintain the verticality of the sail plan when the catamaran gite. However, a catamaran which is tilting, something acceptable on a light sport catamaran where a reversal of the boat has little consequences on the safety of the team members is extremely dangerous in cruising or offshore racing ca 1 = stability of multihulls decreases very quickly au- beyond 20 to 5 degrees to cancel out around 45 to 80 degrees, causing an irreversible capsize. Apart from this point, the system does not bring anything appreciably new concerning the sail settings according to the force and the direction of the wind. In addition, a telescopic structure of the mast will no longer allow it to work in compression, all efforts being al. ~ distributed on the fixed portal pa - through a fixed aπicul_- tion. Telescopic legs reduce the resistance of said gantry to the forces it must withstand or weigh it down, therefore decrease the stability of the boat.
Le système de réglage de la quête du mat permet de déplacer quelque peu la position du centre de poussée vélique longitudina- lement par rapport au centre de la surface anti-dérive, pas d'abaisser ce centre de voilure de façon sensible pour diminuer le couple des forces de chavirage. Il correspond au résultat obtenu sur un gréement classique en agissant sur la longueur et la tension du haubannage. The mast quest adjustment system allows the position of the center of thrust to be displaced somewhat longitudinally with respect to the center of the anti-drift surface, not to lower this center of sail significantly to reduce the torque capsizing forces. It corresponds to the result obtained on a conventional rigging by acting on the length and the tension of the guy wire.

Dans les planches annexes, l'antenne (1), dont le pied articulé (3) se déplace transversalement (6) (fig. 2a et 2b), est soutenue par un dispositif d'appui bilatéral (2), articulé sur un axe transversal (4a), dont le point de solidarisation (5) avec l'antenne (1) glisse (8) le long de l'antenne (1) (fig. 1a et fig. 1b).In the additional boards, the antenna (1), whose articulated foot (3) moves transversely (6) (fig. 2a and 2b), is supported by a bilateral support device (2), articulated on an axis transverse (4a), the connection point (5) of which with the antenna (1) slides (8) along the antenna (1) (fig. 1a and fig. 1b).
Les mouvements sont représentés en pointillés fléchés, ils peuvent notamment correspondre à l'emplacement de rails sur lesquels glisse un chariot ; les voiles sont hachurées. Les figures 1a et 1b représentent les vues latérales du gréement par vent faible (fig. la) et par vent fort (fig. 1b). Le réglage s'obtient par translation (8) du point (5) de solida¬ risation du dispositif d'appui bilatéral (2) le long de la partie centrale de l'antenne (1), provoquant la rotation de l'antenne (1) et du dispositif d'appui (2) par déformation du triangle formé avec le bateau (9), abaissant ainsi le centre de poussée vélique, le centre de gravité du gréement et diminuant la surface présenté latéralement selon la force du vent.The movements are shown in arrowed dots, they can in particular correspond to the location of rails on which a carriage slides; the sails are hatched. Figures 1a and 1b show the side views of the rigging in light wind (fig. La) and in strong wind (fig. 1b). The adjustment is obtained by translation (8) of the point (5) of solida¬ risation of the bilateral support device (2) along the central part of the antenna (1), causing the rotation of the antenna ( 1) and of the support device (2) by deformation of the triangle formed with the boat (9), thus lowering the center of thrust, the center of gravity of the rigging and decreasing the surface presented laterally according to the force of the wind.
Les figures 2a et 2b représentent les vues de dessus du gréement en position d'allures montantes (fig. 2a) et d'allures portantes (fig. 2b), la voilure n'étant pas représentée.FIGS. 2a and 2b show the top views of the rigging in the position of ascending gears (FIG. 2a) and bearing gears (FIG. 2b), the airfoil not being shown.
Le réglage s'obtient par translation latérale (6) du pied (3) de l'antenne (1), provoquant une orientation de l'antenne (1) par rotation horizontale, en fonction de la direction du vent par rapport à l'axe' du bateau.The adjustment is obtained by lateral translation (6) of the foot (3) of the antenna (1), causing an orientation of the antenna (1) by horizontal rotation, as a function of the direction of the wind relative to the axis of the boat.

La manoeuvre consist à libérer le point d'amure de sa fixation au bateau (9), à faire avec ce point le tour, à l'extérieur, du dispositif d'appui bila- téral (2) et à refixer ce peint d'amure (3b) au même endroit que précédemment. Les figures 4, 5, 6a et 6b sont des vues latérales du gréement avec voile supplémentaire d'allures portantes (11) (fig. 4), de petit temps (12) montée sur une antenne de flèche (13) (fig. 5), et avec une antenne (1) entière (fig. 6a) et raccourcie (fig, 6b) par suppression d'un tronçon d'antenne (14) pa gros temps.FIGS. 3a and 3b represent the rigging seen from above, with bearing gaits, with the bottom (10) of the sail (7) not "scalloped" (fig. 3a) and the bottom (10) of the sail (7 ) "wavering" (fig. 3b) around the bilateral support device (2); the bottom (10 of the sail (7) is free relative to the antenna (1) from the articulation (5) with the bilateral support device (2), and maintained by tensioning the anure point (3b) The maneuver consists in releasing the tack point from its attachment to the boat (9), with this point going around the outside of the bilateral support device (2) and reattaching this tack painted (3b) in the same place as before. Figures 4, 5, 6a and 6b are side views of the rigging with additional sail of bearing gaits (11) (fig. 4), of light weather (12) mounted on a boom antenna (13) (fig. 5 ), and with a whole antenna (1) (fig. 6a) and shortened (fig, 6b) by removing an antenna section (14) by heavy weather.
Un mode de réalisation du gréement selon l'invention nécessite une antenne (1) montée en son pied (3) sur une articu¬ lation à rotule le reliant, transversalement (6) (fig. 2a et 2.b)An embodiment of the rigging according to the invention requires an antenna (1) mounted at its base (3) on a ball joint connecting it transversely (6) (fig. 2a and 2.b)
* à un chariot (3a) se déplaçant transversalement (6) sur un rail fixé à l'avant du bateau. * to a carriage (3a) moving transversely (6) on a rail fixed to the front of the boat.
En sa partie centrale (8), l'antenne (1) comporte sur le dessus un rail (8) équipé d'un chariot (5) sur lequel est fixée une articulation à rotule soutenant la dite antenne ( 1 ) sous le sommet d'un portique en "V" inversé (2).In its central part (8), the antenna (1) comprises on the top a rail (8) equipped with a carriage (5) on which is fixed a ball joint supporting said antenna (1) under the top of 'an inverted "V" gantry (2).
Les deux pieds (4) du portique (2) reposent sur le bateau (9), munis d'axes (4a) permettant une rotation dans le sens longi¬ tudinal.The two feet (4) of the gantry (2) rest on the boat (9), provided with axes (4a) allowing rotation in the longitudinal direction.
Les commandes de réglages sont notamment .réalisées par cables, fixés sur les chariots et renvoyés par des poulies.The adjustment controls are in particular made by cables, fixed on the carriages and returned by pulleys.
La manoeuvre du pied (3) de l'antenne (1) oriente ladite antenne (1) en fonction de la direction du vent.The operation of the foot (3) of the antenna (1) orients said antenna (1) according to the direction of the wind.
La translation du dispositif d'appui bilatéral (2) le long du rail de l'antenne (1) règle le positionnement en hauteur- et longueur du gréement, la portance verticale de la voilure, la rigidification de l'antenne, la surface du triangle présenté latéralement compris entre l'antenne et le bateau. Au fur et à mesure de l'abaissement de la voilure, il convient de réduire sa surface notamment avec des moyens classiques comme prise de ris, pour l'adapter à la force du vent.The translation of the bilateral support device (2) along the antenna rail (1) regulates the positioning in height and length of the rigging, the vertical lift of the wing, the stiffening of the antenna, the surface of the triangle presented laterally between the antenna and the boat. As the wing is lowered, its surface should be reduced, in particular with conventional means such as reefing, to adapt it to the force of the wind.
Les buts poursuivis par cette invention sont d'obtenir que les efforts transmis au bateau soient latéralement répartis en compression et traction, inférieurs de moitié à la traction sur un hauban -équivalent, de diminuer la compression sur l'antenne, qui est pratiquement de l'ordre de la composante propulsive de la poussée vélique, de contrôler le travail à la flexion de l'antenne en variant la longueur de la portion maintenue, en fonction de la force du vent, de diminuer la composante de dérive de la poussée, en augmentant la portance verticale.The aims of this invention are to obtain that the forces transmitted to the boat are laterally distributed in compression and traction, less than half the traction on a guy -equivalent, to reduce the compression on the antenna, which is practically l order of the propellant component of the vélique thrust, to control the work with the bending of the antenna by varying the length of the maintained portion, according to the force of the wind, to decrease the component of drift of the thrust, by increasing the vertical lift.
Son utilisation est particulièrement adaptée aux multicoques, et devrait permettre une amélioration de la sécurité par diminution des efforts transmis à la coque et allégement des liaisons entre coques. Its use is particularly suitable for multihulls, and should allow an improvement in safety by reducing the forces transmitted to the hull and lightening the connections between hulls.
