Abstract
A sailing vessel 1 has a rigging system which incorporates at least two sprits or spars 3 extending from the vessel. The sprits are joined by a connecting member 4. During sailing the tack of at least one sail 39 is attached to the connecting member for lateral movement to allow movement of the tack with respect to the vessel. The tack may be attached to a sliding member (38, fig 13) which runs along a track (11, Fig 13) provided on the connecting member. The position of the tack in relation to te vessel may be controlled by lines (6, Fig 13) which run from the sliding member to the cockpit of the vessel. The vessel may be provided with a pair of sprits extending from the bow 7 of the vessel and a pair extending from the stern 8 of the vessel, with a connecting member extending between each of the pairs of sprits.
Description
BOWSPRITS
The present invention relates to an improved bowsprit system, stern sprite, protrusions and sail control for watercraft.
Fixed and extending bowsprits are well known features of older sailing craft and have become popular again with the use of gennakers in modern racing dinghies and sailboats. The bowsprit extends forward of the bow and acts as an attachment point for sails or sailing equipment. There are also bowsprits, which move from side to side, which is usually done when the craft is sailing down wind to give more effect to gennakers or other sails. Stern sprite have also been used for some time in older sailing ships. Single bow bulbs lying substantially below the water line have been used on displacement craft for some time. Nets have been used with single bowsprits and between decks of multihull crap.
The problem with the present sail system is that the gennacker or other sails are still not flying across the beam of the craft enough to take full effect from wind from astern. The gennacker is also less and less useful as the craft sails more into the wind from a broad reach. Single fixed bow bulbs on displacement craft do not capture the bow wave under the boat, nor do they increase water line at the stern. Single sprite or single level splits do not offer the diversity of applications of multiple and multiple level sprite.
According to the present invention there is provided two or more fixed or extending sprite attached to a watercraft or able to be extended from a
Rousing in the hull or extended by hinging out from the crabs. The sprite may be provided with a connecting member so that a sail attached to the connecting member can be moved side to side in relation to the beam of the boat. This means the sail can be moved more widely across the boat than with a conventional system sail setting system so as to catch more wind when sailing before the wind or on a Broad Reach. When sailing on a Reach or into the wind the angle of the sail connected to the extending bowsprits can be angled to give advantages in power and lift from the sail. There is a particular beneficial effect possible when sailing Close Hauled or on a Reach when the angle of the sail from the mast or masts to the control system means the sail is at such an angle that it is slightly horizontal in its set to help give more lift.
Where the bowsprits protrude to a higher plane than the deck level the extra lid benefits of the more horizontal set of the gennacker or other sails may be accented. There is also a benefit in that larger fore sails can be made to work more effectively with standard boom systems and with through mast swing boom systems, both enhancing their effect by acting as a more adjustable parallel sail on a reach or close hauled and by increasing the effective sail area sailing a wider goose wing before the wind and on a broad reach. There may also be multiple and multiple level stern sprite, which have a profusion of practical uses some of which are mentioned below. There may also be protrusions or sprite at various levels in relation to the waterline which function together in some applications. The sprite and protrusions near the waterline can increase the effectiveness of the crabs by influencing water flow, adding stability and buoyancy.
