Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surf sail consisting of a base sail which is attached to its luff against a mast which can be connected to a boom in the usual way and to its clew at the aft end of the boom, and to an additional sail used for reefing.
  • the invention further relates to a boom for such a surf sail.
  • the surf sail according to the invention forms, together with a conventional mast and a boom, a sailing surf rig which is connected to a surfboard in a manner known per se.
  • the mast foot is inserted into the mast shoe, richer
  • a sail surfing rig is also known, which is reefed while surfing or while driving DZW. can be perfected.
  • This well-known sailing surf rig is not only provided with a sail mast to which a sail is attached, but also with a boom mast to which the boom is attached and a profile cladding with at least one recess for the reef area of the sail.
  • the sail is reefed or yanked by moving the mast against the professional fairing and / or the profile fairing against the mast.
  • Additional sail is provided, the series of which can be changed to a double sail.
  • the additional sail When it is in the knitted state, the additional sail is completely drawn in between the two sails of the double sail and is therefore completely covered. Int out more or less large areas of the additional sail protrude beyond the double sail, so that. the total sail area is increased to a greater or lesser extent.
  • This well-known surf sail is extremely difficult to reef or surf during surfing, because to change the position of the additional sail several ropes have to be operated, for example the halyard, the downhaul and the sheet.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a surf sail which is improved compared to the known surf sails and which can be easily reefed or surfaced in a short time without great effort during surfing.
  • the surf sail according to the invention is thus distinguished, inter alia, by the fact that it is equipped with an additional sail which is approximately triangular and has a thin and high cut.
  • the additional sail is at the top of the head
  • Base sail swiveling fixed near its leeches. This fixation is in particular adjustable in length.
  • the additional sail thus runs spotty on his head or less. where the size of the corresponding angle depends on the length of the foot of the approximately triangular additional sail.
  • the fixation must be such that it enables the additional sail to be pivoted so that the latter does not protrude, or only insignificantly, with its leech over the leech of the base sail when it is reefed.
  • the auxiliary saddle must overlap almost completely with the base sail when it is raked.
  • the fixing point for the additional sail is expediently supported by a continuous batten in the base sail.
  • the additional sail is equipped with a guide slat in its lower area at about the height of the boom and thus adjacent to the lower leg. It is nanoeit to a Head of the additional sail curved guide batten, which is arranged approximately horizontally. The radius of the curvature corresponds approximately to the distance of this guide bar to
  • Attachment point from the aft guide member or from the guide bar, so that the distance between the aft end of the guide bar to the attachment point increases when it comes out. This allows the leech of the additional sail to be placed under a pre-tension.
  • the guide batten has an aft section which extends over the entire width of the additional sail, and a front section which extends from the luff of the additional sail to the front towards the mast.
  • the guide batten can be located to the side of the additional sail, in the plane of the additional sail or on both sides of the plane of the additional sail and can be composed in one piece or from several parts connected to one another.
  • the guide section is guided with its front section on a front guide member fastened to the base segment so that it can be displaced in length.
  • this guide member can be a sail pocket sewn onto the base sail, in which the front section of the guide batten is pushed back and forth when the additional sail is swung out or swung in.
  • the front section must be so long that part of this front section remains in the batten pocket when the additional sail is swung out.
  • the guide member is a guide body of sufficient strength, for example made of plastic, which is attached to the base sail and has a shallow shape or has such means that the guide slat can only be pivoted or moved back and forth on its circular path.
  • the interaction of the guide body with the front section of the guide batten must prevent the front section of the guide batten from lifting off the base sail or moving up or down.
  • the guide bar is also guided on its aft section on a rear guide member so that it can be moved in length, so that in this case too the guide bar can only move on the desired circular path.
  • This aft guide link is attached either to the aft end of the boom or to the base sail itself.
  • the surf sail according to the invention has an aerodynamic sail profile both when it is reefed and when it is disengaged.
  • the guide batten should have the highest possible level of flexural strength. For example, it can be made of aluminum or a plastic of sufficient strength.
  • the guillotine is a guide rail which is open towards the guide members and thus laterally open and into which the guide members engage or with which the guide members engage.
  • the guide members were guided in the guide rail.
  • the guide batten is therefore a professional tube, in particular a rectangular professional tube.
  • the front guide member then expediently has a corresponding profile such that it engages around the profile tube and engages behind on both sides. In the case of a rectangular profile tube, the front guide member then has a C profile.
  • the guide batten has two interconnected, in particular identical, profile tubes, which are expediently
  • Rectangular profile tubes These two profile tubes run laterally from the additional sail, so that the additional sail is clamped or inserted between these profile tubes.
  • a spacer element is inserted at least in the front section between the two profile tubes. wherein it is in particular a spacer strip, so that the profile tube closer to the base sail can be guided in the front guide member or can be gripped and gripped by the front guide member. It must therefore be avoided that the two profile tubes in the front
  • the front guide member is preferably placed on the base sail in such a way that when the surf sail is reefed and when the leeches of the base sail and auxiliary sail are roughly one above the other, is arranged or begins immediately before the luff of the additional sail.
  • the guide member is thus on the edge of the area of the base sail, which is overlapped by the additional sail in the ruched state. If the aft guide member is arranged or fastened to the base segment itself, then it is preferably configured in the same way as the front guide member.
  • the guide batten is then configured identically in the aft and front sections or
  • the front guide member has, for example, a C-profile and engages and engages behind the guide bar in the form of a profile tube
  • the eighth guide member also has such a C-profile.
  • the guided profile tube must of course have a certain distance from the additional sail, for example by
