  • Patent number: 5170734
    Abstract: A unique wind propelled craft including a body, a deck which forms the upper surface of the body, a sail for propelling the body by wind forces, a rudder for maneuvering the craft, and a rudder control assembly for controlling and adjusting the position of the rudder. The rudder control assembly includes a steering assembly and a pair of rotating steering members operably connected to the rudder for turning the rudder upon rotation of the steering members. Each of the steering members is adapted to releasibly engage the steering assembly at two separate locations along the deck. The steering assembly includes an elongated multi-function rudder control arm. The control arm includes at its distal end a grip for engagement with a user's hand and at its proximate end a universal joint assembly. The universal joint assembly allows a user to manipulate the control arm throughout an entire hemisphere of positions without effectuating any corresponding movement of the steering members or the rudder.
