Device for the belaying of sheets, in particular for sailing boats

摘要

So that the trimming sheets serving to trim sailing boats can be adjusted from both sides of the boat, they are normally run to both sides of the boat and belayed there by clamps in order to be able to adjust them from the respective windward side dependent on the boat course. Since this arrangement does not provide trimming or full trimming travel under all circumstances, in the device according to the invention a tiltable or rotatable link (6) is arranged between two opposite sheet clamps (4a, 4b). Upon actuation of one of two sheets (1a, 1b) which are firmly attached to the trimming application point, the link (6) lifts the correspondingly opposite sheet (1a, 1b) out of the sheet clamp (4a or 4b) allocated to it, so that alternatively only one of the sheets (1a or 1b) is belayed in each case. <IMAGE>
