Sail surf simulator

The innovation concerns a sailing surfing simulator.

Especially for beginners of the sport of sailing or for

Persons who have not yet had any experience with this, But if you are interested in the sport, it is often difficult to understand how a sailboat works close. There is a need, see both surfboard sellers and instructors to give a sailing simulator at hand, based on which the functioning of a windsurf board can be illustrated.

The present innovation is therefore based on the task of creating a sailing surfing simulator of a simple design create that allows the basic processes to clarify when sailing surfing.

To solve this problem, according to the invention, a first elongated, flat body is in the - if necessary stylized - shape of a surfboard in plan view from above and a second elongated, flat body in the - possibly stylized - shape of a boom or sail provided in plan view from above, which f is arranged parallel to the first body and via a

Pivot connection is connected to the first body, the pivot axis of the pivot connection being perpendicular

is arranged to the planes defined by the first and the second body.

Such a simulator can already be used to relatively simple way to find the required positions of the Riggs indicated by the second body with regard to the prevailing wind direction and the position of the rig

explain relative to the board.

According to a particularly advantageous feature of the renovation

is provided according to a further innovation feature that the second body one along its longitudinal axis has formed elongated hole into which a pivot pin which is fixed relative to the first body intervenes. In addition to adjusting the angular position of the rig to the wind, the inclination of the rig or of the mast to the vertical, as the pressure point of the sail changes with different inclinations of the rig relative to the lateral center of gravity, which makes it possible to control the sail surfboard. This shift the sail pressure point relative to the lateral center of gravity, which is fixed with respect to the board, can easily be done by moving the

² ^ second body relative to the first} body can be simulated. This enables the control processes during sail surfing to be explained in the simplest possible way.

According to a further feature of the innovation it is provided that a control pin is attached to the second body which engages in a control path formed on the first body. This control path is preferred formed essentially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the first body and runs opposite this longitudinal axis curved. This measure ensures that, depending on the inclination of the rig to the horizontal, d, h. ever according to how far the second body over its elongated hole

is shifted relative to the first body, the angle | Position of the second body relative to the first body I is inevitably determined. In this way, γ automatically results in the optimum sailing position required in each case for the user.

According to a further feature of the innovation, at least one direction arrow can be formed on the second body .

YQ , which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second body. Depending on the direction in which this directional arrow is pointing relative to the wind direction, such a directional arrow indicates either the total force acting on the sail or the force opposing the total force to be absorbed by the user of the surfing board.

Furthermore, a directional arrow can be formed on the first body parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first body, and another directional arrow, which is formed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first body. The one formed parallel to the longitudinal axis Directional arrow shows the direction of the advance and the directional arrow oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis the direction of the transverse force acting on the surfboard. The direction arrows can either be on their respective bodies be applied image-wise, d. H. be recorded, for example, or they can also be molded to the body. The aforementioned directional arrows enable the explanation in a simple manner the prevailing force relationships.

It is particularly advantageous if, according to a further feature of the innovation, a lug with a lance extending essentially in the direction of its longitudinal axis is provided on the second body. and if a first ParalTeiogrammscherikel is provided, its
