Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005054049
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The inventive boat comprises a platform (52), at least one main shaped completely submerged float (51) which is connected to the platform (52) by one or several bearing pylons (16) and supports the total weight of the platform in such a way that said platform is maintained out-of-water. The inventive boat also comprised substentially horizontal arms (14) which are radially disposed around the platform above water and support masts (5) which are immersed in water and provided with orientable ailerons (1, 2), mobile shaped fairings (6) freely pivotable by local current and individually enveloping each bearing pylon (16) and each immersed mast (5), at least three auxiliary floats (53) which are distributed around the platform in order to provide a trim balance in a stop position or at low speed and are connected to the radial arms or to the platform. An effort compensating device for orienting the sails (57, 59) comprises an overall elastic device (201), a movable extracting part (92, 103) and a motion transmitting device (200) for applying a constant intensity righting torque on the sails.
