A centerboard is a weight compensator which is located under the middle section of a boat and is used to compensate a heeling force formed by the long posts and sails, especially in windy weathers.
In the present art, the centerboards are located steadily under the boats, and this prevents the boats from approaching at shallow coastal areas. A rudder is located behind the propellers and prevents large boats from turning nimbly and fastly. Furthermore, the motors are made stern away and stop slowly when the boats are desired to be stopped. Sailing boats maintain the center of gravity due to a large quantity of ballasts.
Consequently, there is a need for a development in the relevant technical field due to the above mentioned problems and insufficiency of the current solutions.
Object of the Invention
The present invention relates to a modular system for a rudder and centerboard in the boats, which eliminates the above mentioned drawbacks and provides new advantages for the relevant technical field. The main object of the invention is to make the boats nimble and balanced by more efficient and practical use of the rudders and centerboards in the boats.
The object of the invention is to solve the ballast problem by reducing the need of ballast by pulling the center of gravity down due to the sufficient weight of the centerboards.
Another object of the invention is to allow the large boats to turn quickly and with acute angles.
A further object of the invention is to prevent the centerboard from damaging while approaching a coastal area by way of upward movement of the centerboard system.
Another object of the invention is to facilitate the deceleration by the rudder opening the centerboard system at a right angle to the boat like a fin of fish.
In order to achieve all objects specified above and concluded from the detailed description, the invention relates to a modular system for a rudder and centerboard, which is used in the boats, which allows the boats to be turned and stopped quickly by making the boats nimble and balanced due to more efficient and practical use of the rudders and centerboards in the boats and to approach shallow coastal areas without any damage on the centerboard and which enables to reduce the need for ballasts. The invention is characterized in that it contains:
- a body which is opened and closed on the boat from a side surface,
- a connecting pipe which connects the body to the boat,
- at least one supporting part which provides support by connecting the connecting pipe to the boat,
- an angular maneuvering handle which is connected to the connecting pipe and allows the body to rotate,
- a hydraulic piston which is connected to the maneuvering handle and enables the maneuvering handle to move,
- a hydraulic slide system which is connected to the maneuvering handle and moves the modular system up and down.
The structural and characteristic properties and all advantages of the invention will be understood more clearly by the drawings and the detailed description provided with reference to the drawings. Therefore, a consideration should be made in view of these drawings and the detailed description.

In this detailed description, the preferred alternatives of the modular system (A) of the invention are described only for a better understanding of the subject and in a nonlimiting sense.
Figure 1 shows a representative view of a modular system (A) of the invention. Accordingly, the modular system (A) basically comprises a body (10) in the form of a plate, which is opened and closed on the boat (B) from a side surface, a connecting pipe (20) which connects the body (10) to the boat (B), a supporting part (40) which provide support by connecting the connecting pipe (20) to the boat (B), an angular maneuvering handle (30) which is connected to the connecting pipe (20) and allow the body (10) to rotate, a hydraulic piston (60) which is connected to the maneuvering handle (30) and enables the maneuvering handle (30) to move, and a hydraulic slide system (50) which is connected to the maneuvering handle (30) and moves the modular system (A) up and down.
The body (10) is in the form of a plate and has mounting holes (11 ) on one side. Said body (10) is fixed to the connecting pipe (20) when the mounting holes (11 ) on the side thereof are connected to the mounting holes (21 ) located at one end of the connecting pipe (20). The body (10) is connected to the boat (B) by the connecting pipe (20).
The upper mounting holes (22) are located at the other end of said connecting pipe (20). The connecting pipe (20) is fixed to the boat (B) by at least one supporting part (40) and also is fixed to the maneuvering handle (30) when the upper mounting holes (22) are connected to the handle mounting holes (31 ) located at one end of the maneuvering handle (30). The supporting part (40) has a width such that the connecting pipe (20) is fixed to the boat (B).
The maneuvering handle (30) is angular and enables the body (10) to rotate. The maneuvering handle (30) which has handle mounting holes (31 ) at one end thereof has a connecting ring (33) for the hydraulic piston and a slide connecting ring (32) at the other end thereof.
The maneuvering handle (30) is fixed to the hydraulic piston (60) by the connecting ring (33) of the hydraulic piston located at the end of the maneuvering handle (30) being connected to the piston connecting ring (61 ) located at the end of the hydraulic piston (60) in order to move the maneuvering handle (30). Furthermore, the maneuvering handle (30) is fixed to the hydraulic slide system (50) by the slide connecting ring (32) located on said maneuvering handle (30) being connected to the connecting ring (51 ) of the slide system located at the lower end thereof. The hydraulic slide system (50) moves the modular system (A) up and down by cooperating with the hydraulic system.
The modular system (A) is made ready for use by being connected to the boat (B) with a total number of 4, one for each of the rear lateral sides of the boat (B), and one for each of the front lateral sides. One modular system (A) of the invention may also be located at the fore end in larger boats (B). Thus, the maneuverability of the boat (B) is increased.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the body (10) may be in the form of a frame in large boats (B), and the maneuverability may be increased by spreading a sailcloth inside the body (10), thereby enlarging the area thereof.
Figure 2a is a representative view of a modular system (A) of the invention when the boat (B) is on a straight sailing. During straight sailing, the bodies (10) are parallel to the boat (B) and the friction is minimum.
Figure 2b is a representative view of a modular system (A) of the invention when the boat (B) turns right. When the boat (B) turns right, the body (10) located in the right at the rear is opened to form a right angle to the boat (B). An increased friction shifts the back of the boat (B) to the left. The body (10) on the front left side and fore is half-opened, and an increased friction shifts the fore to the right. Thus, a rotation with an acute angle is provided.
Figure 2c is a representative view of a modular system (A) of the invention when the boat (B) turns left. When the boat (B) turns left, the body (10) located in the left at the rear is opened to form a right angle to the boat (B). An increased friction shifts the back of the boat (B) to the right. The body (10) on the front right side and fore is half-opened, and an increased friction shifts the fore to the left. Thus, a rotation with an acute angle is provided. Figure 2d is a representative view of a modular system (A) of the invention during the braking of the boat. If the boat (b) slows down by braking, the 4 bodies (10) on the sides, except for the fore, are opened at right angles. As the increasing frictions are equal, there is no rotation, and the boat (B) slows down.
