(54) Anti-tilting system for sailing boats, by automatic adjustments on the basis of the heeling moment


(57) The finding consists in a sheet (1) release system for a sailing boat (2) on the basis of the stress measured by suitable transducers (3) on the fixed rigging (shrouds) and/or on the basis of further information, by a suitable station (4) that, received the signals from the transducers, sends a suitable control signal to the actuators (5) on which the sheets have been connected and/or on the rudder, also by the conventional automatic pilot, to bring the boat toward the wind direction.
