Sailing Assembly For Small Boats

US Patent:
6457430, Oct 1, 2002
Filed:
Jun 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/892392
Inventors:
David Drabkin - Big Pine Key FL 33043
International Classification:
B63B 3500
US Classification:
114 3922, 114 90, 114 91
Abstract:
Small boats such as kayaks, canoes, and skiffs that are normally not propelled by wind power are provided with apparatus of this invention that can enable the conversion to a sailing vessel. A mast is movable from a horizontal inoperative position to an erect operable position. Lee boards are movable from a raised inoperative position to a lowered operative position. Sails are movable from a lowered operative position to a raised inoperative position. Movement between operative and inoperative positions of the sailing elements are all operable by the boater from the boaters normal position. The boater may thereby convert from a non-sailing to a sailing vessel or the reverse with a minimum of effort, time, and inconvenience. The vessel may be paddled with the mast up if desired.
