  • Balancing system for a sailing boat
    Patent number: 5392727
    Abstract: A system for maintaining the hull of a sailing boat in a steady position substantially independent of wind pressures on the sail, comprising a pivoted mast and wires connecting the mast with a weight in the boat hull via a transmission device. Transverse pivoting movement of the mast causes lateral displacement of the weight thereby maintaining the hull in a stable condition.
