Abstract

A boat (30) with a mast (38) and a crab claw sail (40), wherein the tack (42) of the sail is attached to the boat behind the mast. The sail may have a single point of attachment (51) to the mast, and the mast may be unstayed. The boat may further comprise a demountable cover (61) to, when mounted, substantially enclose an occupant of the boat, a foot edge (44) of the sail clearing the cover when the boat is in a sailing configuration, so that the boat, with the cover mounted, can be sailed by the occupant from beneath the cover. The luff (46) and foot (44) edges of the sail may be maintained in a curved configuration by a spar (62) or spars under compression; one end of tie spar may be held within a pocket (74) and the other end of the spar may be provided with means (76) for attaching it to the sail material (82) such that the sail material can be tensioned and the spar compressed. The mast may be releasably attached to the boat at the bow. One or both of the head (52) and clew (54) tips of the sail may be provided with a stiffened extension portion (86) which can gyrate independently of the spar of the corresponding edge of the sail. There may also be at least one oar (96) which is adaptable for use as a portion of the mast.
