The sailboat of the present invention's space frame base is supported by three hulls. Each hull is allowed to rotate freely about a vertical axis intersecting one vertex of the triangular base and weathervane in the direction sailboat of the present invention motion. The direction that sailboat of the present invention moves is only constrained by an independent dagger board/canard rudder structure, whose orientation can be controlled relative to the space frame, when locked at an angle, relative to the nominal configuration. There are two masts on the sailboat each with a twin sail set. Each of said mast assemblies', orientation relative to the apparent wind, is controlled by associated canard winglets. These two masts and the fore spar complete the foldable space frame. The mast assembly angle relative to said base deck plane is changeable to enhance lift on one of said bow, starboard, or port hulls. |
