Abstract

1276567 Self steering vane L G COOPER 3 Sept 1970 [8 Sept 1969] 44206/69 Heading B7V In a yacht a self steering vane 1 which rotates about a horizontal axle 2 is mounted and balanced centrally over a vertical mounting axle 3 having a coaxial member 5 connected by reduction gears 4 to the axle of the vane. When set with its leading edge in the direction of the apparent wind on board the yacht, travelling on a set course in relation to the apparent wind, the vane controls the rudder 9 in such a way as to maintain the course of the yacht in relation to the apparent wind. In the embodiment of mounting A the vane is connected by coaxial member 5 to the yacht and by the mounting axle 3 to the rudder. In embodiment B mounting axle 7 is connected to the yacht and coaxial member 5 connects the vane to the rudder by pulley and lines 10.
