| 摘要 |
The invention concerns a pendular nautical craft whereof the passengers are overhead in a nacelle travelling above the water surface. It consists of: a floatable hull (1) equipped with a control system; an arm (2) pivoting on the hull; a nacelle (3) attached to the arm on its free part, and wherein are seated the passengers and the set of controls; a kite-like sail (6) fixed to the nacelle (3). The traction on the sail (6) exerted by the wind lifts the nacelle (3) with its passengers above the water and provides, via the arm (2), a propelling force to the hull (1). The piloting controls of the craft, installed in the nacelle, are used to manoeuvre the hull control system, the sail activity, to modify the craft displacement speed and generally to adapt to sailing conditions. |
