Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sailing ship with a hull, adjustable with this connected holding means and a sail spanned by these, the sail or its parts in one of the possible sail positions with respect to the longitudinal median plane of the hull is symmetrical or to each other and wherein the sail is parallel to one another is pivotable to the longitudinal center plane pivot axis.
  • the sail can be formed from a coherent cloth, which is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal median plane of the fuselage in the mentioned possible sail position.
  • Known sailing ships have a hull and at least one hocn sail.
  • a mast attached to the fuselage is used to hold the latter, to which a tree is attached in the vicinity of its lower end so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis parallel to the mast.
  • One sail edge, the so-called luff runs along the mast and is attached to it, while another edge, the so-called luff, runs along the tree and is attached to it.
  • the top corner of the triangular sail is on a flexible, along the mast extending traction element, the so-called case, and can be pulled up, tensioned and held with this.
  • the mast and the tree together span a level that runs vertically with the hull lying flat in the water.
  • the sail is bulged somewhat by the wind, but is also approximately in the plane defined by the mast and the tree.
  • the tree is also connected to the hull by a flexible tension element, the so-called sheet, the pivoting of the tree resulting from the action of the wind being adjustable by varying the sheet length.
  • the sail area must be adjusted so that the wind exerts a force on the sail that has a component in the direction of travel.
  • the sail On the so-called “on the wind” course, ie when the direction of travel is directed against the wind at an acute angle, the sail must be "pulled tight” relatively, ie the sail surface must form a very acute angle with the longitudinal median plane.
  • the force exerted by the wind on the sail then has a large component which is directed at right angles to the longitudinal midplane of the fuselage. This force component causes the ship to tilt strongly towards the lee side.
  • this inclination or heel increases with increasing wind force and can lead to capsizing in dinghies.
  • Rah sails Sailing ships with Rah sails are also known. These sails are square and symmetrical with respect to a vertical median plane.
  • the Rah sails are on the frames, i.e. attached to horizontally extending rods that are pivotally attached to a mast in the middle.
  • the Rah sails can thus be pivoted about a vertical pivot axis running through the longitudinal center plane of the fuselage.
  • the Rah sails also have the disadvantage that when a strong wind has a side component with respect to the direction of travel, the sail section is strongly inclined and pushed into the water. Moreover, the sailing ships equipped with Rah sails can practically not sail against the wind.
  • the invention has now set itself the task of creating a sailing ship that is not strongly pressed into the water even in strong winds and in all possible directions. Furthermore, it should make it possible to sail even in relatively strong winds without reducing the sail area, without this leading to excessive heeling in any direction of travel.
  • the sailing ship shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a hull 1 with a sword 3, a rudder blade 5 and a tiller 7. There is also a mast 9, the base 11 of which is attached to the bow of the ship and which is slightly inclined towards the rear. The mast is additionally fixed by means of shrouds 13.
  • a triangular sail 21 and holding means for holding and tensioning it are in front.
  • the triangular sail surface, which is spanned by the holding means, lies in a horizontal position in the sail position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Level.
  • the sail area is in relation to a plane which in the said sail position with the; vertical longitudinal central plane 23 of the fuselage 1 coincides, symmetrically. It should be noted that when the ship is under the action of the wind, the sail is of course somewhat inflated and deformed. It is then no longer exactly on one level and may no longer have a symmetry level. However, the sail always remains at least approximately symmetrical with respect to a plane that runs through its front corner and the center of its rear edge.
  • the holding means for holding the sail 21 have an articulated body 25 which is arranged at the front corner of the triangular sail and which can be seen on a larger scale in FIG.
  • two hollow rods 29 are pivotally attached by means of hinge pins 27, which extend away from each other to the rear and to which two side edges of the sail 21 are attached.
  • hinge pins 27 which extend away from each other to the rear and to which two side edges of the sail 21 are attached.
  • the front end of a hollow rod 31 is rigidly attached to the joint body 25.
  • This rod 31 runs along the plane of symmetry of the sail 21, the rear side edge of which is fastened and tensioned in the middle at the rear end of the rod 31 by means of a tensioner.
  • the one end of two struts 35 is pivotally attached with a joint 33.
  • the other ends of the two struts 35 are pivotally attached to a slide 37 by means of pivot pins 39, which can be seen particularly clearly in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the slide can be secured against displacement by locking means (not shown) and fixed in the position shown in FIG. 4.
  • a joint body 41 is fastened to the mast 9 by means of a pivot pin 43 so that it can pivot about a pivot axis 45.
  • the pivot axis 45 runs horizontally and at right angles to the longitudinal center plane 23.
  • the joint body 41 has a through bore running at right angles to the pivot pin 43, in which the rod 31 is held pivotably about the pivot axis 47.
  • the latter is therefore in the longitudinal median plane 23 and extends at right angles to the pivot axis 45, but does not intersect it.
  • the pivot axis 47 runs parallel to the sail surface spanned by the holding means.
  • the rod 31 is axially immovably connected to the joint body 41 by means of two rings 49 and 51.
  • the sail thus has two degrees of freedom of pivoting, which are defined by the two pivoting axes 47 and 45, which run at right angles to one another, but do not intersect one another.
  • a rope 61 guided by two deflection rollers 63, 65 attached to the fuselage has two end parties 6la and 61b, one of which attaches to the rod 31 on the joint body 25 and the other on the side of the pivot axis 43 facing away from the joint body 25 is.
  • the end part 61a can also have an elastic section. With a clamp, not shown, the rope 61 can be clamped in any position on the fuselage.
  • a rope party 71a leads to two deflection rollers 75, one of which is attached to one of the rods 29.
  • the free end parts 71b run from the deflection rollers 75 back to the fuselage 1 and are fastened to it.
  • the rope 71, the party 71a serve as a pod, can also be fixed in any position by means of clamps attached to the fuselage 1.
  • the three rods 29, 31 together define a plane which runs horizontally in the position shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and. Since the sail 31 is stretched by the three rods, the sail surface is also in this horizontal plane. If a wind blows in a horizontal direction, it exerts practically no force on the sail. So that the ship can start sailing, the sail must be tilted.
  • the SeGel 21 When sailing in the wind, ie when the wind blows from the forward direction of the ship, the SeGel 21 is brought into the position shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, it being assumed that the wind blows from the starboard side. Now the bottom The lee-side rod 29 located at the edge of the sail 21 extends approximately horizontally, running away from the joint body 25 away from the longitudinal median plane of the fuselage and outwards. The other rod 29 then runs away from the joint body 25 quite steeply upwards, its upper end being inclined towards the windward side. The wind flowing towards the sail is therefore also diverted downwards. The force exerted on the sail 21 therefore has an upward component.
  • the sail is brought into a position which is between the position shown in FIG. 5 and the position shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 6. In each of these positions, the wind has an upward component. So, apart from the propulsive force, the wind creates an upward force that tends to lift the hull out of the water. This reduces driving resistance and increases driving speed.
  • the sail can be adjusted, for example, starting from the position shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 in such a way that the sail surface more or less approximates a horizontal position. Accordingly, the horizontal component of the force exerted by the wind on the sail decreases, while there is still a strong, upward force component. In this way, excessive heeling, ie lateral inclination of the ship, can be avoided even in strong winds, without the need to reduce the sail area.
  • the position of the sail can be adjusted in a twofold manner between the vertical force component exerted by the wind on the sail and the horizontal force component.
  • a ship according to the invention can, for example, easily sail with a hull length of 4.20 m and has an area of 14 to 20 m 2 .
  • laser previously known ships available under the class designation "laser" and having approximately the same length only have a sail area of 7 m 2 .
  • the sail only has to be rotated slowly through the position shown in FIG. 5, in which the sail surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane 23 of the hull 1. A jibe can therefore be carried out without difficulty even in strong winds.
  • the sail When turning, ie when the bow is turned by the wind, the sail must be brought, for example, from the position shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 to the position symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center plane 23.
  • the sail can be braked so that the ship is braked as little as possible when its bow is facing the wind temporarily move to a more or less horizontal position when turning.
  • the locking of the slide 37 can be released.
  • the slide 37 can now be moved along the rod 37 to the joint body 25 into the position shown in FIG. 9.
  • the rods 29 and the struts 35 are pivoted so that they form a bundle parallel to the rod 31.
  • the sail can now be placed in folds running along this bundle of rods and fixed to the bundle of rods with a band.
  • the pivot pin 43 is expediently designed such that the pivot connection formed by it can be released.
  • the ropes 61 and 71 are of course also releasably attached, so that the bundle of rods together with the sail can be separated from the mast 9 and from the hull 1.
  • the ship shown in FIG. 10 has a hull 101 with a rudder blade 105 and a control tiller 107 connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • two sets of rollers 173 with at least two rollers are attached to the body 102.
  • an auxiliary spider 167 pivotally mounted on the rear is still attached above the control spider 107.
  • a set of rollers 175 is attached to this on both sides.
  • rope 71 there are two separate ropes 171 voranaen, one end of which is attached to rods which correspond to rods 29 of the first embodiment described.
  • the other ends of the two ropes 171 are guided around the rollers of a pair of roller sets 173, 175 and fastened to the fuselage 101.
  • the roller sets 173, 175 together form a pulley, which converts a small pivoting movement of the auxiliary spider 167 into a large pulling movement of the party of the ropes 171 leading from the roller sets 173 to the sail.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to move the sail very quickly by swiveling the auxiliary spider 167 when turning from the position shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 to the mirror-symmetrical position on the other fuselage side.
  • the ship shown in FIG. 10 has a similar design to the ship shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 and also has similar properties.
  • a rope drum rotatably mounted on the fuselage could be provided, which is rotatably connected to a pinion. This could mesh with a tooth segment that is attached to the auxiliary spider.
  • servomotors could of course also be provided for the adjustment of the sail.
  • the sailing sniff can be modified in another way.
  • a control element that can be adjusted by the wind could possibly be provided in the rear part of the ship, similar to that used in wind Auto steering systems is used. This control member could then be connected to the auxiliary spider and thus to the ropes 171 and support the adjustment of the selvedge and / or influence its setting.
  • one or both of the parties 6la, 6lb can be engaged on a lever arm which is fixed in a rotationally fixed manner on the joint body 25 or on the rod 31.
  • These lever arms can be fastened in such a way that they project vertically downward when the sail is horizontal, so that the parties 6la, 61b endeavor to turn the sail into the position in which it is with respect to the longitudinal center plane 23 when the rope 71 forming the pods is released is symmetrical.
  • the design of the sail 21 and its holding means can also be varied. You could also make the sail elliptical or semicircular, for example. Furthermore, the sail could be attached to rigid rods along all edges. However, the sail could also consist of two separate parts which are held symmetrically to one another in a sail position with respect to the longitudinal center plane of the hull.
  • a ball joint could be provided instead of the joint body 41 in order to connect the sail to the mast.
  • Such a ball-and-socket joint could be designed in such a way that it also enables pivoting that corresponds to the pivoting about the two pivot axes 45, 47.
  • a mast with an additional sail of the type of a conventional mizzle sail could be arranged in the rear part of the ship.
  • This additional sail could possibly also be connected to the auxiliary spider instead of the control element mentioned earlier.
