Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1655220A2] A device for reducing the rotation speed of the boom (5) of a mainsail (3) mounted on the mast (4) of a sailing vessel (1) during gybing of the sailing vessel comprises damping means connected to the boom (5) of the mainsail (3). The damping means comprises a rotation damper (2) connected between the boom (5) and a fixed part of the sailing vessel (1). A very compact device is obtained as a result of these measures, which prevents the consequences of uncontrolled gybing, while the number of external components is also small. The rotation damper (2) is preferably placed in the vicinity of the mast (4) of the mainsail (3). The housing (7) of the rotation damper (2) is connected fixedly to the hull of the vessel (1). The arm (9) of the rotation damper (2) is connected to the boom (5) of the mainsail (3). Due to this placing close to the two parts to which the rotation damper (2) must be connected, only a small number of components is necessary for the purpose of connection.
