  • Patent number: 7748335
    Abstract: The hull design for this invention includes a sharp bow, deep V concave shape (“VC”) monohull with a reverse curvature running from a flat straight keel to the upper rail and also encompassing the entire hull length from the bow to the stern. The pointed bow with a bow rudder and a deep flat keel results in a smooth hull for guiding a water column free of a wave and water turbulence to the stern. A mainsail mast and a mizzen shroud slide transversely within limits to promote sail proximity and to achieve increased speed via an improved draft. The mizzen foresail is tacked by moving the mast windward; detaching the mizzen shroud; moving it forward to perform a tacking maneuver, and then moving it aft to a leeward position in relation to the mainsail; and re-attaching the mizzen mast to the moveable traveler.
