  • Sailing craft
    Patent number: 4688504
    Abstract: A sailing craft has a middle float and two lateral pivotable floats joined to it via struts and their joints. The two lateral floats each have two surface regions that can be brought into contact with the surface of the water. One surface region is embodied as a skimming surface and the other surface region is embodied as the outer surface of a displacement float. In a first pivoted position, the surface region forming the outer surface of the displacement float becomes operative at the surface of the water. In the second pivoted position, the surface region acting as the skimming surface becomes operative at the surface of the water.
