Abstract: A packaging assembly in which discrete cushioning or blocking and bracing members are strategically positioned so as to provide improved protection of an article such as during shipment and storage. The assembly includes a substrate and a predetermined 2- or 3-dimensional pattern of cushioning members such as inflated (e.g., gas-filled) bags selectively and optionally independently affixed to the substrate. The pattern of cushioning members is predetermined in the x, y and z directions such that, when the substrate is positioned about the article, e.g., by folding the substrate, point contact between the cushioning members and the article is created. A method of fabricating a shock protective assembly for packaging an article is also disclosed.

Abstract: A canting ballast twin foil (CBTF) sailing yacht constructed according to the invention includes a sailing hull, a ballast, a ballast-supporting structure, and an onboard ballast drive system. The ballast drive system moves the ballast in order to vary the counter-heeling force it produces underway. Twin foils that depend downwardly from the hull in positions fore and aft of the ballast provide leeway and steering control. An onboard main engine drive system provides power, either directly by suitable mechanical coupling or indirectly through charging of the battery/electric system, for one or more of a canting system, a leeway, and/or steering control system. The onboard main engine drive system may also power a yacht-propelling propeller.

Abstract: A device designed to enable a sailor to move easily fore and aft and side-to-side about a watercraft. The device includes separate port and starboard bench units that are pivotally coupled to the watercraft and are movingly coupled to outboard rail systems extending fore and aft along the port and starboard gunwales of the watercraft. Additional rail systems incorporated into the bench units allow side-to-side movement. The bench units is designed and coupled to the rail systems and pivot points such that the sailor can remain on the bench unit and pivotally move it fore and aft, or slidingly move side-to-side by pushing his or her feet on the underlying substrate above which the sailor sits. The bench unit is preferably designed to permit the sailor to straddle it. The seat portions of the bench units are extendable beyond the outer edge of the watercraft. A handrail affixed to the bench enhances stability for the sailor. An optional braking system that can be engaged or disengaged by the sailor prevents undesired movement of the bench unit fore and aft along the outboard rails.

Abstract: A control unit incorporated in a stabilizing system in yachts and sailing vessels and intended automatically to control the movements of a weight which is movable transversely across the vessel, said wight being connected with an athwartships tiltable mast in such a manner, that the weight is displaced transversely across the vessel in a direction opposite to the mast tilting direction. The control unit comprises two stops arranged to stop the movements of the weight, and further comprises a shifting device which is actuated by the position of the wight so that one of the stops is given an opportunity to act, i.e. to stop the movements of the weight, when the weight is positioned to one side of the centre line of the vessel in the transverse direction thereof whereas the second stop is then not given an opportunity to stop the movements of the weight, and vice versa. Each stop is controlled by a sensing device responsive to the movements of the vessel.

Abstract: A sailboat apparatus includes a hull having a bottom, bow and stern portions along with a central portion and at least one mast for supporting a sail extending above the hull. The mast is mounted to the hull for side-to-side movement relative to the hull. A keel assembly has a keel extending below the hull bottom and through the hull bottom and attached to an elongated transfer shaft rotatably mounted to the hull and having the mast coupled to one portion thereof. The keel is coupled to another portion of the transfer shaft and extends from the transfer shaft through the hull bottom into the water so that movement of the mast from side-to-side rotates the transfer shaft and the keel in the opposite direction from the mast to stabilize the sailboat. Sealing is provided for sealing the hull bottom against the incursion of water through the keel assembly opening in the hull and may include having the transfer shaft coupled through journals and covered with the seals over the shaft and sealed to the bottom of the hull. Embodiments are disclosed which mount fluid cylinders to control the movement of the mast from side-to-side and one or more mast and keels may be utilized.

Abstract: A weight distribution system configured to be integral with a boat or with its structure or hull. The system includes a weight distribution device that translates a cart of weight from one position within a space to another position along a rail. The system is activated by a control that is remote to the system. The system allows for a person to quickly and conveniently alter the weight within the boat to alter, improve or otherwise shape the wake created by the boat.
