Sailing craft seat with controls - slidable on forward arm laterally swivelable over 180 deg. about vertical axis near mast support

摘要

The sailing craft comprises a hollow mast (1) securable to a rearwardly extending arm (2) carrying a buoyancy member (3) with a rudder (4). Two laterally inclined forwardly extending arms (6,7) carry buoyancy members (8,9) and are swivelable about vertical axes near the mast. A forwardly extending hollow arm (13) is swivelable over around 180 deg. about a further vertical axis near the mast. This arm carries a seat (14) with controls which is slidable towards and away from the mast. The arrangement permits the sailer to move rapidly towards either side of the longitudinal median plane. The seat may be subject to a constant force towards its swivel axis by a downward incline of the arm (13) and/or by a tensioned cable.
