Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for low-drift or even drift-free operation of a sailing ship with a keel fin with a sail that is held outside the midships plane and can be adjusted accordingly to the wind, in which the entire rigging including the horizontally and vertically pivotable mast arm and the sail provide an optimal overall force Is brought and held.
- the invention also relates to a sailing ship with a hull with a lowerable keel fin and a foldable, pivotable mast arm and the sail attached to it.
- the weight of the vehicle acts with its distance from the lateral "tipping edge" of the vehicle.
- all multihull boats, as well as catamarans and trimarans and boats with side floating or skid arms provide the necessary stability to compensate for the heeling moments caused by the wind.
- ballast increases the water displacement of the ships and thereby destroys a large part of the advantages it creates.
- a rigging for watercraft which makes it possible to keep the sail or sails outside the midships plane and to tilt it against the wind by using an isosceles triangular sail as the sail, which is centered with a tree tension and that is held with the base line as a luff in an arbitrarily positionable and adjustable frame and is held over a foldable and pivotable cantilever arm as a mast.
- a ship or rigging it is possible to somewhat reduce the torque emanating from the wind power or the sail.
- By speaking position of the sail you can lead the line of force through the height of the axis of rotation or roll of the ship, so that the total force of the sail has little or no lever arm to heel the ship.
- the keel which serves as the wing, needs a certain angle of attack to generate buoyancy in the water.
- this angle of attack arises automatically in that the ship drifts, ie does not move in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
- this drift angle is optimal only in very rare cases.
- it is disadvantageous that the entire ship's hull has to follow this angle. Since it is firmly connected to the ship's hull, the entire hull must make this angle of attack, so that the sailing ship no longer travels in its longitudinal direction but at an angle to it. This creates considerable resistance and reduces speed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a method and a sailing ship which enable sailing without heeling torque and without inclination of the ship.
- the object is achieved in that the total force exerted by the sail is determined and that then the keel fin, which is connected to the sail via a turret and a mast arm, with respect to the active surface and / or curvature and / or profile shape and / or angle of attack so the position the sail is adjusted so that the total force generated by the keel fin is directed in the opposite direction to the projection of the total force of the sail on the horizontal plane and at the same time the ratio of buoyancy to drag of the keel fin is maximized, while the ship's hull is exactly in the direction of travel remains.
- ballast and ship width can be saved in this way.
- the sailing ships will drive much faster with the same wind strength, they will ride upright, which has considerable advantages in terms of comfort and safety.
- the extreme reduction in ballast also makes it possible to free the keel from its previous double function - fin and holding the ballast - and to make it pivotable and changeable in its profile or overall changeable. It thus prevents a drift, so that the overall sailing force can be used to move the sailing ship forward accordingly.
- the leading edge of the sail is always placed at right angles to the apparent wind and the sail is also positioned such that the line of force of the total force of the sail intersects the lateral plan below the lateral pressure point and / or forwards or aft or runs to the side of the lateral plan.
- the sail can be brought into a position which makes it possible to determine the overall force of the sail, so that the corresponding change on the keel is again possible with the necessary certainty and according to a precisely specifiable pattern.
- Another embodiment of the invention provides that the keel with the forces emanating from the sail and with the relative speed of the water flow correspondingly automatically adjusted according to the size of the active surface and / or the angle of attack and / or the profile.
- the automatic system has the advantage that all different components can be taken into account, each in such a way that the optimum effect for the "drive" of the sailing ship results.
- a sailing ship in which the keel is designed as a multi-part, ballast-free keel fin, which in its entirety can be retracted into the ship's hull and pivoted relative to the longitudinal axis of the ship and the parts of which are connected via hinges to give a variable curvature.
- a sailing ship designed in this way or with such a keel design it is possible to implement the method described above and to realize the advantages which can be achieved thereby. Due to the special design of the keel fin, both a change or adaptation of the curvature and the profile shape as a whole can be achieved.
- the overall keel fin can be pivoted so that the angle of attack relative to the current is changed accordingly and finally the keel fin as such can also be incorporated into the ship's hull or lowered from it, if necessary, thereby reducing the effective area Measurements can be changed accordingly.
- it may also be necessary or only necessary to change the profile shape of the keel fin this being achieved according to the invention in that the keel fin as a whole or its parts are designed to be changeable in the profile shape. This is achieved in that the parts of the keel fin are inflatable or shrinkable, so that the profile shape changes in accordance with the requirements.
- the keel fin is expediently pivotably connected to the ship's hull or to the turret by up to 90 ° to each side, specifically to each side, so that lateral movement of the ship's body can be achieved during mooring and mooring maneuvers.
- the effect of a large towing anchor can be produced with a transverse and a longitudinal keel fin, in particular if the lateral plan, as is further provided according to the invention, has two keel fins which can be lowered independently of one another and retractable, swiveling, changeable according to profile and curvature in the longitudinal axis of the ship are arranged one behind the other, one of the two keel fins in the middle of the ship, but optionally also further in the direction of the bow of the ship.
- the second keel fin is used, in particular, when the motor is in motion, if a rudder effect is required or if, as mentioned, the directional stability of the ship is to be improved in the event of a strong wave effect.
- the keel fin is formed in three parts, the central part having the pivot axis and the profile nose and the rear fin part being pivotally connected to the central part via hinges.
- the individual parts of the keel fin can be connected to one another, for example connected by an outer skin, or they can also be separate parts which are pivotally connected to one another via the hinges.
- the mast arm is pivoted horizontally and vertically and rotatable about its longitudinal axis via a universal joint with the ship deck and is also designed to be variable in length and fixable in any position.
- the sail as such can thus be maneuvered into any position far outside the hull, the position of the hull being ensured with prevented drift by changing or adapting the keel fin.
- the design of the part of the sailing ship that applies to the sail is to be optimized if a uniaxial, fixable joint is assigned to the head of the mast arm, on which the main boom is articulated with an internal swivel shaft that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis and displaceable in the longitudinal axis, and that the swivel shaft has a head piece with a gear for actuating the reef shafts which are mounted in the frame and which receive the canvas.
- the actual sail is brought into any position, with the special training the mast arm and the subordinate parts of the rigging the position taken can also be identified in such a way that the necessary conclusions regarding the shape and position of the keel can be drawn.
- a shape which is particularly favorable for the task of the sail is achieved if hinged outer trees which are equipped with deflection rollers are articulated on the frame.
- the sail can be given a more aerodynamic, rectangular shape.
- an angle sensor is expediently assigned to each joint.
- the frame which is designed as a profile nose, forms a "thick" wing with two sailcloths that can be rolled up in the frame, the curvature and the ratio of length to depth (width ) is changeable.
- the device can be built more cheaply and easily if a reef shaft accommodates two sailcloths, which are held at the rear edge of the frame by a sheet metal with rounded edges standing at right angles to the sailcloths. This makes it possible to keep the sails at a distance of the desired profile thickness when it hits, whereby it is further advantageous if the sailcloths can be wound up and unwound individually, so that a specific force is absorbed by the sailing ship according to the respective wind conditions to let.
- the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a method for operating a sailing ship and a sailing ship are created which enable sailing without disadvantageous heeling torque and thereby give the possibility of to keep the sailing ship or the hull horizontal, so that overall the comfort and safety of such a sailing ship is significantly increased, quite apart from the fact that an optimal use of the force exerted by the wind is made possible.
- FIG. 1 shows a sailboat operated according to the inventive method
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the frame in perspective view
- FIG. 3 shows a three-part keel fin
- Fig. 5 shows an even further changed profile shape
- FIG. 6 shows a modified profile shape with a simultaneously changing angle of attack
- FIG. 7 shows a sail that has been flipped out and swiveled with the swivel angle
- FIG. 8 shows a ship with the sail set to a light wind
- FIG. 10 is a sailing ship in hurricane
- 11 shows a sailing ship when passing through bridges
- FIG. 12 shows a sailing ship parked in the covered berth.
- the sailing ship 1 or the hull 2 is shown viewed from the rear, the keel 3 and the sail 5 articulated on the mast arm 4 being recognizable with the canvas 6.
- the mast arm 4 can be pivoted about a universal joint 8, which is connected to the ship deck 9.
- the mast arm 4 is otherwise only hinted at. Due to the special design of the mast arm 4, the sail 5 can also be moved, so to speak, in the longitudinal axis 10 of the ship.
- the hydrodynamic transverse force 17 opposes the aerodynamic transverse force or the sail transverse force 12.
- the gravitational weight of the hull 2, which is not shown here, is normally fully compensated for by the hydrostatic buoyancy in the water, which is also not shown here.
- the inclined sail 5 develops a sail lifting force 13
- the ship's hull 2 is raised somewhat, as a result of which part of the total weight force now counteracts the lifting force 13 as a gravitational counterforce or weight force 18.
- This part of the weight force 18, together with the hydrodynamic transverse force 8 forms a force parallelogram with the total force 19.
- the total force 14 and the total force 19 lie in opposite directions on a line. This means that there is no lever arm, which means that no torque can occur.
- the lateral forces 12 and 17 are not always the same size, however, since they form in a dynamic process. In the case of imbalances, in addition to linear accelerations, rotational accelerations also occur, which is why the possibility mentioned must also exist for the line of the total force of the sail 5 to pass below the lateral pressure point 16 or even below the lateral plan.
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a cross section through the frame 26 and a longitudinal section through the main tree 23 with the swivel shaft 13 located inside, longitudinally displaceable to the main tree 23 and rotatable in the main tree 23, the gear 25 for actuation on the frame 26, the shaft 27 being displaced via the ends 28 of the frame 26 and the reef shafts 29 can set in rotation.
- the canvas 6 to be wound around the reefing waves 29 are not shown.
- the possibility of displacing the swivel shaft 24 in the main boom 23 in its longitudinal direction has the aim of compensating for the displacement of the sail pressure point or the lateral pressure point 16 at different angles of attack of the sail 5.
- the joint 22 is arranged on the head 21 of the mast arm 4.
- keel fin 33 consists of three parts and is referred to as the keel fin 33.
- this keel fin 33 can be pushed into the ship's hull 2 or can be pushed out of it, a graphic representation being omitted here.
- the individual parts 34, 37, 38 are connected to one another in an articulated manner via hinges 35 and 39, so that the curvature of the keel fin 33 can be changed accordingly by the individual parts 34, 37, 38 being interlocked with one another.
- the central part 37 generally runs in the longitudinal axis 10 of the ship, although, according to FIG. 6, pivoting about the pivot axis 40 is also possible, so that the angle of attack of this keel fin 33 can be changed according to the circumstances.
- FIG. 6 pivoting about the pivot axis 40 is also possible, so that the angle of attack of this keel fin 33 can be changed according to the circumstances.
- the curvature that has been set can be retained, so that the adaptation of the shape of the keel fin 33 to the forces exerted by the sail 5 mentioned above is ensured.
- the changes in the curvature and the rotation according to the method according to the invention should take place in a manner corresponding to the position of the sail.
- the pivot axis 40 can be found in the middle of the ship 36.
- Fig. 7 shows the raising of the sail 5 by a certain amount and the pivoting of the sail 5 with the pivot angle. It becomes clear that an adjustment or adjustment of the sail 5 in this way and through the special education and the length-adjustable mast arm 4 is easily possible.
- Fig. 8 illustrates wind sailing in light wind, i. H. with weak wind.
- the cantilever arm 4 is positioned somewhat upstream of the midship level.
- the frame 26 is pivoted vertically, either to 0 ° or to 180 °, depending on the wind direction. The adjustment to the wind takes place with the optimal angle.
- the curvature of the sail 5 is increased in accordance with the weak wind. Luv and leeguity are controlled by the mast arm 4 being tilted slightly forward or backward and the resulting displacement of the sail pressure point (the vertical or vertical perpendicular to the rear through the lateral pressure point 16). This shift in the pressure point of the sail could then also be used to change the course of the sailing ship 1.
- the mast arm 4 can also be tilted far forward, which is illustrated in FIG. 9.
- the frame 26 is again rotated at right angles to the apparent wind.
- the angle of attack can now be chosen to be much larger than when sailing on the wind, since the resistance of the sail 5 now also points in the direction of travel of the sailing ship 1.
- the angle at which the greatest propulsive force is generated can be determined by experiment.
- the cantilever arm When the wind is strong and the wind is sailing, the cantilever arm is extended sideways according to Lee, the hull being rotated out of the midships plane.
- the frame 26 is again placed at right angles to the apparent wind, but is pivoted so far that the force line of the total force 14 generated by the sail 5 is slightly below the contour line of the lateral pressure point 16 in the lateral plan, but also so far to the bow of the lateral pressure point 16 that this shows now stronger luffing moment of propulsive force is compensated again.
- the curvature of the sail 5 is chosen to be flatter, corresponding to the wind strength.
