Abstract (en)
The boom (80) comprises an elongate body having a hollow portion for receiving the sail (92). The forward end of the boom is hinged to the mast (82) at spaced locations (12,14) around axes substantially parallel to the mast, the hinged connections (12,14) permitting sideways movement of the boom while holding the boom at a fixed angle of about 88 degrees to the mast to permit uniform furling of the sail into the boom (80). The body of the boom is formed or molded with decreasing cross section from the forward portion to the rear, in order to most efficiently accommodate the body of the furled sail. The boom furling ist highly reliable and convenient. The arrangement eliminates the need for a separate support for the boom while the sail is lowered. <IMAGE>
