Definitions

  • the mainsail When reefing the mainsail without furling system, the mainsail is usually used to lower the sail and tie it to the main boom. When reefing partially, the lower part of the sail is also fixed with lines. The upper part of the sail is stretched with the help of the mainsail and the reefing lines. With a little more effort, the sail can be reefed using furling systems in the mast or in the large boom.
  • the mainsail With furling systems in the mast, the mainsail is rolled up and reefed on a vertically mounted reefing rod.

Abstract

The reef rod is mounted in the spanker boom with a spring or rubber drive, which can be pre-tensioned when the sail is rolled up. The drive is pulled up with the main descent when the main sail is pulled up. The reef rod is driven by the pulled up drive to roll up the sail. Independent claim are included for a vertically mounted reef rod in or at a mast with a spring or rubber drive and for a reef rod mounted at the forestay.

Description

Beim Reffen des Großsegel ohne Rollreffanlage wird üblicher weise mittels des Großfalls das Segel herunter gelassen und am Großbaum angebunden. Beim teilweisen Reffen wird der untere Teil des Segels ebenfalls mit Leinen fixiert. Der obere Teil des Segels wird mit Hilfe des Großfalls und der Reffleinen gespannt.
Mit etwas mehr Aufwand wird mittels Rollreffanlagen im Mast oder im Großbaum das Segel gerefft.When reefing the mainsail without furling system, the mainsail is usually used to lower the sail and tie it to the main boom. When reefing partially, the lower part of the sail is also fixed with lines. The upper part of the sail is stretched with the help of the mainsail and the reefing lines.
With a little more effort, the sail can be reefed using furling systems in the mast or in the large boom.

Bei Rollreffsysteme im Mast, wird das Großsegel auf einer vertikal gelagerten Reffstange aufgerollt und gerefft.
Bei Rollreffsysteme im Großbaum wird das Großsegel auf einer horizontal gelagerten Reffstange im Großbaum aufgerollt und gerefft.
Bei Rollreffsysteme am Vorstag werden die Genua oder das Vorsegel aufgerollt und gerefft.With furling systems in the mast, the mainsail is rolled up and reefed on a vertically mounted reefing rod.
With furling systems in the main boom, the mainsail is rolled up and reefed on a horizontally mounted reefing rod in the main boom.
In the case of furling systems on the forestay, the genoa or the headsail are rolled up and reefed.

Der Antrieb zum Aufrollen geschieht mittels Hydraulikmotor mit Getriebe, mit Leinen manuell, über eine Winsch oder über eine elektrische Winsch.The drive for rolling up is done by hydraulic motor with gear, with lines manually, via a winch or via an electric winch.

Beim Rollreffsystem im Baum ist es notwendig, während des Aufrollens, das Segel auf leichten Zug zu halten, was mit etwas Geschick gelingen mag.With the furling system in the tree, it is necessary to raise the sail while rolling up to hold light pull, which may succeed with some skill.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Reffstange beim Reffen mittels einem aufgezogenen Federantrieb oder Gummiantrieb angetrieben.
Der Feder - oder Gummiantrieb wird beim Setzen ( Hochziehen oder Ausholen ) des aufgerollten Großsegels aufgezogen.
Während dem Aufrollen des Segels und bei Stillstand wirkt automatisch das Drehmoment des Federantriebes oder des Gummiantriebes auf die Reffstange und hält somit das Segel auf Spannung.
Beim Reffen in den Großbaum wird der obere Teil des Segels mit Hilfe der Großfall und der Reffleinen oder am Unterliek in alt bewährter weise gespannt.
Der Feder oder Gummiantrieb kann im aufgerollten Zustand des Segels bereits etwas vorgespannt werden. According to the reefing rod during reefing is driven by means of a spring drive or rubber drive.
The spring or rubber drive is pulled up when the rolled - up mainsail is set (pulled up or out).
While the sail is being rolled up and at a standstill, the torque of the spring drive or the rubber drive automatically acts on the reefing rod and thus keeps the sail under tension.
When reefing into the large boom, the upper part of the sail is stretched using the large halyard and the reefing lines or on the lower leg in the old, tried and tested way.
The spring or rubber drive can already be preloaded somewhat when the sail is rolled up.

Beim Rollreffsystem am Vorstag, oder im Mast mit vertikal gelagerter Reffstange ist das Einrollen des Segels durch Winddruck meist erschwert. Der Vorteil mit dem Feder oder Gummiantrieb liegt darin, daß das Aufrollen (Reffen) des Segels mit dem Feder - oder Gummiantrieb erfolgt oder unterstützt wird.
Das Aufziehen des Feder - oder Gummiantriebs erfolgt beim Ausrollen des Großsegels, vorzugsweise mit der Ausholerleine des Segels über eine Winsch.With the furling system on the forestay, or in the mast with a vertically mounted reefing rod, it is usually difficult to wind up the sail due to wind pressure. The advantage with the spring or rubber drive is that the reeling (reefing) of the sail is carried out or supported by the spring or rubber drive.
The spring or rubber drive is pulled up when the main sail is rolled out, preferably with the sail's outhaul line over a winch.

Das Aufziehen des Feder - oder Gummiantriebs am Vorstag erfolgt während dem Abrollen des Segels mit der Schot der Genua oder des Vorsegels, vorzugsweise über eine Winsch. Das Aufrollen (Reifen) erfolgt, oder wird unterstützt, mit dem aufgezogenen Feder - oder Gummiantrieb.The spring or rubber drive is pulled up on the forestay during unrolling the sail with the sheet of the genoa or the foresail, preferably over a winch. The rolling up (tire) takes place, or is supported, with the wound spring or Rubber drive.
