A lightweight sailing boat (1) has buoyant means (5) provided at opposite sides of the boat to engage the water (3) upon heeling of the boat beyond a determined angle. The buoyant means (5) are coupled to the boat by a lost motion coupling allowing the buoyant means (5) to move with respect to the boat (1) to allow the boat to heel beyond said determined angle before the buoyant means starts to exert a significant righting force on the boat (1). When moved to an alternative configuration the buoyant means enter the water and give the boat (1) a trimaran configuration. |
