Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0148805A2] The invention relates to rigging intended for the propulsion of sailing ships, consisting of a rotating mast (1) and a sail (7) surrounding the mast and comprising two side pieces (7b, 7c) extending backwards from the mast. The sail portion (7a) situated in front of the mast (1) rests on an active surface defining a substantially elliptical leading edge (3) carried by the said mast, whilst each of the side pieces (7b, 7c) is provided with stiffening battens and is fixed to at least one vertical plurality of booms (6). The active surface can be placed in either of two positions symmetrical with respect to the substantially vertical plane containing the booms (6), in which positions the plane of the booms forms an angle A with the vertical plane of symmetry of the said active surface. The invention finds advantageous application in the field of boatbuilding. <IMAGE>
