Abstract

An adjustable frame device for a profiled sail device includes a fixed luff-sided first frame portion and a leech-sided second frame portion. The second frame portion includes a first flexible sail batten and a second flexible sail batten that are movable with respect to one another in a sail-batten longitudinal direction to adjust the frame device, with one of the sail battens serving as a compression batten and the other of the sail battens serving as a tension batten. An adjustable profiled sail device includes a first profiled surface against which air can flow, a second profiled surface against which air can flow, with the first profiled surface and the second profiled surface being spaced apart from one another, and an adjustable skeleton device disposed between the profiled surfaces. The skeleton device includes at least one adjustable frame device.

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjustable frame device (200) for a profiled sail device, the frame device (200) having a fixed luff-side first frame portion (202) and a leech-side second frame portion (204) having a first flexible sail batten (206) and a second flexible sail batten (208), wherein, in order to adjust the frame device (200), the first sail batten (206) and the second sail batten (208) are displaceable with respect to one another in the sail-batten longitudinal direction, wherein one of the sail battens (206, 208) serves as compression batten and the other of the sail battens (208, 206) serves as tension batten, and to an adjustable profiled sail device having a first profiled surface, against which air can flow, with a sail outer side and a sail inner side, a second profiled surface, against which air can flow, with a sail outer side and a sail inner side, wherein the first profiled surface and the second profiled surface are spaced apart from one another, and to an adjustable framework device arranged between the profiled surfaces, wherein the framework device has at least one such frame device (200).

Abstract

A frame device (200) for a profiled sail device, the frame device (200) having at least one adjustable frame element (202), the at least one adjustable frame element (202) having longitudinal struts which are spaced apart from one another and are assigned to sail surfaces which are spaced apart from one another, and transverse struts which extend between the longitudinal struts, characterized in that the longitudinal struts and the transverse struts delimit quadrangles which each have two diagonals with varying lengths depending on the adjustment, and the diagonals each have a predetermined maximum length, and a profiled sail device having sail surfaces which are spaced apart from one another and against which the flow can impinge and which form profiled surfaces, a sail front edge and an adjustable skeleton device arranged between the sail surfaces. The skeleton device has at least one frame device (200) of this type.
