Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to illustrating as much as up to now it has been exposed, it accompanies to the present descriptive memory and forming an integral part of the same one, a group of drawings in those that are represented of simplified and schematic way, some examples of practical realization only explanatory although not limitative of the characteristics of the new sophisticated light sail craft.

The FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the craft with two sails, in tandem, fixed on deck.

The FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the craft with two sails, in those that the advance and setback movements are shown that it can make the masts and their corresponding sails.

The FIG. 3 shows a view in plant superior of the new craft with two sails, carrying out the maneuver of coming up, with the sail of sheet in stern and the bow sheet out.

The FIG. 4 shows a view in plant superior of the new craft with two sails, carrying out the maneuver of bear off, with the sail of sheet in bow and the stern sheet out.

The FIG. 5 shows a view in plant superior of the new craft with two sails, carrying out the maneuver of tack, with the sail of sheet in stern and the bow sheet out.

The FIG. 6 shows a view in plant superior of the new craft with two sails, carrying out the maneuver of jibe, with the sail of sheet in bow and the stern sheet out.

The FIG. 7 shows a view in plant superior of the new craft with two sails, carrying out the maneuver of coming up, carrying out the coming up maneuver since it receives the wind for the fin until it receives it for the tack, with the sail of sheet in stern and the bow sheet out.

Claims

1. “Light sail craft” lacking rudder and steered by means of the movement and positioned of the sail (2), characterized essentially because it consists of a hull of any type monohull, catamaran or multihull, with enough stability to the overturn, on which you/they prepare two or more sails (2) of pivoting mast and characteristic rocking-revolvable, identical to those used in the windsurf charts, prepared symmetrically regarding the center of lateral resistance of the underbody (4) and in tandem on the sheer line being considered a crew anyway of, as minimum, a navigator for each harnessed sail.

2. “Light sophisticated sail craft” according to claim 1, characterized because the harnessed sails (2) are fixed to the desk by means of fixation anchorages (3), located throughout their sheer line, on deck, where they will fix the feet of mast of the sails, being installed these in tandem on the line central bow-stern, being able to of this way to be gifted the craft for two, three or more sails (2), depending on the length and of the number of fixation anchorages foreseen. (3)

3. “Light sail craft” according to claim 2 characterized essentially because the hull, for functionality and stability, will be, preferably, of type catamaran (1) or multihull.
