Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sailboat of racing or cruising with a hull closed by a bridge and in which the lower end is installed of a mast carrying the wing.
  • the current recreational fleet is mainly incorporated, in particular in the field of boats of medium size, of habitable monohull sailboats relatively inexpensive and largely satisfactory of comfort and interior design possibilities.
  • the rigging of these sailboats is usually consisting of a mast and guy lines whose role is to maintain it and consolidate it.
  • a sailboat provided with a guyed mast according to the preamble of claim 1 is known for example from US-A-4,345,535.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a implanted racing or cruising sailboat of the aforementioned type likely to meet these requirements.
  • the mast is a rotating and tilting mast mounted pivoting around three axes, perpendicular to each other, at know a vertical axis, the port-starboard tilt axis and an essentially horizontal axis perpendicular to this tilt axis and can therefore be oriented in all directions.
  • such a mast can, advantageously, be mounted on a fixed ball-type bearing at the deck of the sailboat; at the same time, his foot can slide on a rail preferably carbon inserted at the bottom hull.
  • the mast cooperates, by its lower end, with organs maneuver to orient and block it in a determined position.
  • the mast can respectively tilt at an angle ⁇ 45 ° around a substantially horizontal axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the hull and, where applicable, around an axis which is also essentially horizontal and perpendicular to this longitudinal axis.
  • the mast can tilt at an angle which may exceed ⁇ 90 ° around an essentially vertical perpendicular axis to the longitudinal axis of the hull.
  • the mast has a wing-shaped section; such a configuration is particularly advantageous from an aerodynamic point of view as it results in a significant decrease in drag or resistance to advancement, and in parallel on the plane structural in terms of the rigidity of the mast: in fact, the mainsail fabric is then mounted so as to stress the mast according to its greatest inertia.
  • the lateral rigidity of the mast is exclusively ensured by it, in particular in the case of a wing profile.
  • the longitudinal stiffness can be "Consolidated" by the halyards of the sails returned to the rear or a longitudinal front shroud with stiffened post (forestay) by a bastaque if this stay serves as a support for the luff of a head sail for example.
  • the sailboat conforming to the invention essentially consists of a shell 1 which is closed by a bridge 2 at its upper part and extends down by a keel 3, so as to ensure the flotation as well as a mast 4 located in the hull 1 and with the wing not shown.
  • the mast 4 is mounted on a ball-type bearing 5 fixed at the level of the bridge 2 and slide, by its lower end 6 on a carbon 7 rail inserted at the bottom of the hull; organs of maneuver not shown used to orient the mast 4 and to lock it in different angular positions from from the cockpit.
  • the mast 4 can respectively tilt by an angle ⁇ around a perpendicular axis to the longitudinal axis x-x 'of the shell 1 (figure 2a), by an angle ⁇ around an axis coinciding with this axis longitudinal x-x '( Figure 2b) or an angle ⁇ around of an essentially vertical axis perpendicular to these two pivot axes (Figure 2c).
  • the maximum tilt angles ⁇ , ⁇ are all two 45 ° one way or the other while the angle ⁇ maximum can possibly even exceed ⁇ 90 °.
  • the mast 4 has a cross section wing shape which guarantees lateral rigidity maximum taking into account the fact that the mainsail V shown schematically requests it according to its greatest inertia.
  • the invention makes it possible to remove this drawback thanks to the windward orientation of the mast 4 which allows the displacement of the center of gravity G to the center of rotation of the boat thanks to the pivoting of this mast and so present the entire sail area as projected surface on a vertical plane and an orientation of 90 ° air nets from the sail.
