Abstract: There is disclosed a new teaching aid and support device for use with a windsurfer rig, which rig usually includes a mast, a boom, a sail, and a universal joint. The teaching aid and support device comprises a stationary base member for supporting the windsurfer rig. The stationary base member is in the form of a shallow, inverted receptacle having a top planar surface and depending side walls which are arranged and constructed so that when the bottom edges of the sidewalls of the base member are placed on the ground the base member is securely and non-rotatably supported from the ground. The top planar surface of the base member has a suitable mast receiver opening whose vertical center line is near the geometrical center of the base member. The device also includes an arrangement for securing the mast to the base member.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for fixedly positioning an axis of the body relative to the ground while permitting rotational motion of the head about the fixed axis, including a telescoping pole for anchoring in the ground, a crossbar extending between the telescoping pole and the axis of the body to be fixed, an adjustable clutch for permitting proper angular positioning of the crossbar, a head cap and chin strap for rigidly securing about the head of the golfer, and a rotatable bearing for securing the head cap to the crossbar to limit motion in all directions except rotational motion about the fixed axis.
