DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR CANTING A KEEL ARRANGEMENT ABOUT A LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF A SAILING VESSEL

摘要

A device (1) for canting a keel arrangement (9) about a longitudinal axis of a sailing vessel is disclosed. It comprises a screw and nut arrangement (3), comprising a threaded nut (5) receiving a threaded screw (7). The screw and nut arrangement (3) is fixable to the keel arrangement (9) and to a fixed element (11) of the sailing vessel essentially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. A relative rotation between the threaded screw (7) and the threaded nut (5) is responsive for canting the keel arrangement (9) in relation to the sailing vessel. A mechanical rolling means (13) is in contact with the threaded screw (7) and the threaded nut (5). Also disclosed is a system (51) for canting a keel arrangement (9) about a longitudinal axis of a sailing vessel, comprising two devices (1).
