  • Patent number: 5337690
    Abstract: One embodiment of a vertical watercraft for stable transport in rough seas includes a normally above-waves sail, a normally vertically-disposed elongate hull being normally substantially submarine in operation, and an adjustable ballast device. The ballast device is disposed within the hull for maintaining the sail above water and for regulating trim, attitude and bottom clearance of the hull under different loads and operating conditions. In another embodiment, the vertical watercraft includes a normally above-waves inflatable sail, a mast connected to the sail, a folding raft connected to the mast, and a normally vertically-disposed, elongate, folding hull being connected to the raft and normally substantially submarine in operation. A differential air pressure may be applied through apertures in the sail for curving the sail, and a differential air pressure may be applied through apertures in the hull for curving the hull.
