Abstract: In a battened sailboard sail a sail attachment device is attached to the leading edge of the sail and the sail attachment device is connected to a camber-inducer by a line that is acted on by a batten to evenly distribute the batten tension load between the sail and camber-inducer. The batten is able to move chordwise relative the camber inducer when the sail is rotating about the mast.

Abstract: A positive batten inversion system for control of the battens used to stiffen the leech of a sail for a sailboat comprises a pair of control lines for each batten that extends beyond the backstay run up from the tack, along either side of the luff of the sail, to blocks secured to the sail near the luff and slightly below an imaginary line connecting the batten centerline to the luff. From the blocks, the lines run out to the leech and are secured to the leech just above the after end of the battens. Accordingly, the lines cross the battens at a very acute angle. Tensioning the lines causes the batten to be inverted and/or compressed, allowing it and the leech of the sail to pass by the backstay.

Abstract: A sail that is fully battened by a plurality of essentially thin, spaced apart battens positioned at a steep angle on the sail. The sail is adapted to be furled around the mast. The battens are stiff enough to support a large roach of a square top sail and yet flexible enough to wrap around the mast. The mast is supported on bearings that allow the mast to turn about the mast's long axis with little friction to permit rapid furling and unfurling of the fully battened sail.

Abstract: The invention is a rigid supporting member that changes position within a pocket of sheet material to accommodate a deployed position and a stowed position, as may be used, for example, with battens in roller furling sails. The member is placed within the pocket formed within sheets of a pliable material, or attached to the pliable material, and the member is movably secured within the pocket, such as with a pivoting fixture. The member may be rotated into a first position that supports a shape of the pliable material when the pliable material is deployed, and a second position that accommodates stowage of the pliable material through folding, rolling, or the like. A variety of control systems may be used to control rotation or other movement of the member, and to control deployment and stowage of the pliable material.

Abstract: A sail batten formed of a fiber reinforced composite material extended longitudinally and varying in transverse cross sectional from an ellipse at one end to a flattened ellipse at the other end. A two step processing for fabrications the batten commences with fabrication of a tube of substantially constant cross section in the thermoplastic condition as a first step. The second step processing heats the tube to a malleable condition and squishes one end of the tube to form a tapered structure with one cross sectional dimension decreased to reduce stiffness in that dimension.

Abstract: A sail shaping arrangement for a sailing craft as a sailboard is described, the arrangement associated with each of the sail battens. The shaping arrangement includes a pair of flexible fingers extending over and past each batten to straddle the mast within the mast sleeve. As the sail swifts to either leeward position, one end of the windward finger is bent to form a knee, one side of the bent end acting against the mast to be restrained thereby stabilizing the sail in that condition and also tenching to arch the batten and thus act as a camber inducer. The flexible fingers are preferably flat plastic pieces installed in pockets sewn opposite each other onto either side of the sail over the batten pockets.

Abstract: High performance sail craft operate in high apparent wind velocities which induce high aerodynamic loads into the said surface. This invention provides a light weight sail construction that resists deformation of the sail surface caused by high aerodynamic loads. The sail construction consists mainly of ribs permanently affixed to the sail surface to stretch the sail material. Each rib in the sail provides the required amount of stretch in the sail material to eliminate stretch folds in the sail surface. Each rib in the sail has the stiffness or resistance to flexure varying along its length to control the sail surface curvature thereby providing a low drag airfoil for high speed sailing. A double surface sail construction is provided wherein each sail surface consists of the aforemention sail construction. A parabolic nose forms the leading edge of the double surface sail to provide smooth air flow entry. The rearward end of each sail surface is joined to form the sail trailing edge. Water drain passages are provided at the trailing and foot of the double surface sail.

Abstract: A marine sail having a plurality of batten attachment assemblies coupled thereto for supporting or shaping the sail body. Each of the batten attachment assemblies includes an elongated tubular pocket member, a pair of battens supported in the tubular pocket member with their longitudinal axes aligned and their inner ends overlapping, and a batten coupling and constraining assembly for limiting longitudinal movement of the battens in the tubular pocket member. In a first embodiment, the batten coupling and constraining assembly includes a pair of end caps interconnected by a pair of straps with a buckle for adjusting the compression of the battens in the tubular pocket member. In a second embodiment, the batten coupling and constraining assembly uses an elastic strap for interconnecting the pair of end caps for placing the battens under compression. In a third embodiment, the batten coupling and constraining assembly uses a pair of straps which are selectively positionable in the tubular pocket member for adjusting the amount of compression of the battens.

Abstract: A tapered sail batten comprises two external generally flat sheets, and an interposed corrugated core sheet, formed of a fiber reinforced synthetic plastic material. The depth of the corrugations in the core sheet increases progressively from end to end of the sheet, and the two external sheets are bonded to the peaks of the corrugations. The batten is elongated and the corrugations are transverse to the length of the batten.
