Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0075208A2] The sail rig for water crafts comprises a mast (4) with the respective sail (5) and the boom (6). The mast (4) is articulated at an intermediate position along its length to the top end of a mast-supporting structure (7) consisting of a tubular mounting which is firmly fitted onto the framing of the hull (1) so as to lie on the craft center line, but so as to be cast astern. The joint (8) for articulating the mast (4) to the mounting (7) is a cylindrical joint with its axis of rotation extending longitudinally, more particularly extending in the direction parallel to the axis of boom (6). The mast may be thus caused to assume not only a position contained in a vertical plane passing through the boat center line, but also any desired inclined position about the said axis of rotation of the cylindrical joint (8), so as to attain the most favotirable rake for the best point of sailing of the boat. Preferably, the angle of this rake will range from 35 DEG to 45 DEG on the one or the other side. The boom (6) is an arcuate, fork- or oval-shaped double boom of the socalled <<wishbone>> type as used in sailboards and at its apex it is articulated by means of joint (9), very simply made in form of a plain small link (21) fastened to an eye (20) provided on mast (4).
