Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0312129A2] Detachable sailing vessel for high speed and performance comprising a horizontal triangular frame having its apex forward, which is carried by one central frontfloat under the apex and two rear-sidefloats, one under each side corner at the sternbeam. Stearing is done with a helm at the stern acting on either the frontfloat or on both rear-side floats. In the latter steering mode, the frontfloat may have automatic course compensation by being able to pivot over about +/- 10 DEG while being urged by elastic means into the central position. The mast is positioned near to the frame-apex and leans back at about 30 DEG . Its both side stays run upwards from the sidebeams at a slight rearward angle of 5 DEG -10 DEG with regard to the vertical to the frame. Said side stays may consist of buckle-stiffened shores. The vessel has one (main)sail with free (loose) underside.
