Abstract (en)
The boat has transversal beams (3, 4) connecting hulls (1, 2), and a mast (6) carrying a sail (7). A tail fin (8) integrates to a rudder blade (9), and lateral support fins (10, 11) are fixed on a same beam. A control device is provided with an actuating distributor to allow the fin (10) to have a slope with respect to a plane of symmetry of the boat, where the fin (10) is different from the fin (11). The device moves the fins between two positions in which the fins form an angle ranging from -15 to +15 degrees and from 30 to 60 degrees with respect to the plane of symmetry, respectively. An independent claim is also included for a method for navigating a sail boat.
