Description
La présente invention a pour objet un voilier de course ou de croisière comportant une coque fermée par un pont et dans laquelle est implantée l'extrémité inférieure d'un mât portant la voilure.The present invention relates to a sailboat of racing or cruising with a hull closed by a bridge and in which the lower end is installed of a mast carrying the wing.
On a pu observer, ces dernières années, un développement considérable de la navigation de plaisance et nombreux sont les particuliers qui ont déjà acquis ou envisagent d'acquérir un voilier.We have observed, in recent years, a development considerable pleasure boating and numerous are individuals who have already acquired or are considering to acquire a sailboat.
La flotte de plaisance actuelle est principalement constituée, en particulier dans le domaine des embarcations de taille moyenne, de voiliers habitables monocoques relativement peu onéreux et largement satisfaisants du point de vue du confort et des possibilités d'aménagement intérieur.The current recreational fleet is mainly incorporated, in particular in the field of boats of medium size, of habitable monohull sailboats relatively inexpensive and largely satisfactory of comfort and interior design possibilities.
Le gréement de ces voiliers est habituellement constitué d'un mât et de haubans dont le rôle est de le maintenir et de le consolider.The rigging of these sailboats is usually consisting of a mast and guy lines whose role is to maintain it and consolidate it.
L'apparition de voiliers dont la coque est non plus en bois mais dans des matériaux dits composites, en particulier des stratifiés (carbone époxy) a conduit à proposer au public des voiliers dans lesquels le mât est directement implanté dans la coque, ce qui permet de supprimer les haubans latéraux et donc de simplifier notablement la structure du bateau. Un voilier prévu d'un mât exempt d'haubanage selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu par exemple de US-A-4 345 535.The appearance of sailboats whose hull is not more in wood but in so-called composite materials, in particular laminates (epoxy carbon) led to propose to the public of sailboats in which the mast is directly implanted in the hull, which removes the shrouds side and therefore significantly simplify the structure Of the boat. A sailboat provided with a guyed mast according to the preamble of claim 1 is known for example from US-A-4,345,535.
Une telle conception a, cependant, pour corollaire une augmentation importante du poids du gréement, vu que le mât doit ainsi être sensiblement plus lourd avec un centre de gravité situé très haut ; ceci est pénalisant et nuit dans une large mesure à la vitesse du bateau, en particulier lorsque le vent devient important.However, such a design has the corollary a significant increase in the weight of the rig, seen that the mast must therefore be significantly heavier with a very high center of gravity; this is penalizing and harms to a large extent at boat speed, especially when the wind becomes strong.
Cette situation est d'autant plus désavantageuse que, notamment sous l'influence des grandes courses transocéaniques, de plus en plus de plaisanciers recherchent la performance sportive et souhaitent donc acquérir un voilier qui soit le plus rapide possible. This situation is all the more disadvantageous that, in particular under the influence of the great transoceanic races, more and more boaters are looking for sport performance and therefore wish to acquire a sailboat as fast as possible.
La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un voilier de course ou de croisière à mât implanté du type susmentionné de nature à satisfaire à ces exigences.The object of the present invention is to provide a implanted racing or cruising sailboat of the aforementioned type likely to meet these requirements.
Un tel voilier est décrit dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.Such a sailboat is described in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, le mât est un mât tournant et basculant monté pivotant autour de trois axes, perpendiculaires entre eux, à savoir un axe vertical, l'axe de basculement babord-tribord et un axe essentiellement horizontal perpendiculaire à cet axe de basculement et peut donc être orienté dans toutes les directions.According to a preferred characteristic of the invention, the mast is a rotating and tilting mast mounted pivoting around three axes, perpendicular to each other, at know a vertical axis, the port-starboard tilt axis and an essentially horizontal axis perpendicular to this tilt axis and can therefore be oriented in all directions.
Conformément à l'invention, un tel mât peut, avantageusement, être monté sur un palier de type rotule fixé au niveau du pont du voilier ; parallèlement, son pied peut coulisser sur un rail de préférence en carbone inséré en fond de coque.According to the invention, such a mast can, advantageously, be mounted on a fixed ball-type bearing at the deck of the sailboat; at the same time, his foot can slide on a rail preferably carbon inserted at the bottom hull.
Cette configuration permet d'augmenter, d'une part, le couple de redressement du voilier, suite au déplacement du centre de gravité du mât au vent de celui-ci et, d'autre part, la force propulsive aérodynamique vu que le mât peut être orienté perpendiculairement aux filets d'air, et même développer un léger effet de portance. On obtient, parallèlement, une diminution de la traínée compte tenu de l'absence de haubans.This configuration allows you to increase share, the righting moment of the sailboat, following the displacement from the center of gravity of the mast to the wind thereof, on the other hand, the aerodynamic propelling force since the mast can be oriented perpendicular to the air streams, and even develop a slight lift effect. We get, in parallel, a decrease in drag due to the absence of guy lines.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le mât coopère, par son extrémité inférieure, avec des organes de manoeuvre permettant de l'orienter et de le bloquer dans une position déterminée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the mast cooperates, by its lower end, with organs maneuver to orient and block it in a determined position.
Un tel réglage peut être effectué manuellement au moyen de leviers de commande mis à la disposition du barreur. Such an adjustment can be made manually at means of control levers made available to the coxswain.
On peut, également, envisager de prévoir une commande automatique de l'orientation du mât à partir d'organes de détection de la position du voilier coopérant avec un système d'asservissement électronique connu en lui-même.We can also consider planning an order automatic mast orientation from organs for detecting the position of the sailboat cooperating with a system electronic servo known in itself.
Il est à noter qu'en cours de navigation, les efforts exercés sur le mât sont repris par le palier à rotule et par les organes de manoeuvre.It should be noted that during navigation, the efforts exerted on the mast are taken up by the spherical bearing and by the operating devices.
Selon une caractéristique non limitative de l'invention, le mât peut respectivement basculer d'un angle de ± 45° autour d'un axe essentiellement horizontal coïncidant avec l'axe longitudinal de la coque et, le cas échéant, autour d'un axe lui aussi essentiellement horizontal et perpendiculaire à cet axe longitudinal.According to a non-limiting characteristic of the invention, the mast can respectively tilt at an angle ± 45 ° around a substantially horizontal axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the hull and, where applicable, around an axis which is also essentially horizontal and perpendicular to this longitudinal axis.
Selon une autre caractéristique non limitative de l'invention, le mât peut basculer d'un angle pouvant dépasser ± 90° autour d'un axe essentiellement vertical perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la coque.According to another non-limiting characteristic of the invention, the mast can tilt at an angle which may exceed ± 90 ° around an essentially vertical perpendicular axis to the longitudinal axis of the hull.
On a en effet pu établir qu'une telle faculté de basculement du mât autour de chacun de ses trois axes de pivotement est suffisante pour s'adapter à toutes les conditions de navigation (gíte, tangage ou roulis).It has indeed been established that such a faculty of tilting of the mast around each of its three pivot axes is sufficient to adapt to all conditions navigation (tilt, pitch or roll).
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le mât a une section en forme d'aile ; une telle configuration est particulièrement avantageuse sur un plan aérodynamique vu qu'elle entraíne une diminution sensible de la traínée ou résistance à l'avancement, et parallèlement sur le plan structurel au niveau de la rigidité du mât : en effet, la toile de grand voile est alors montée de manière à solliciter le mât selon sa plus grande inertie.According to another characteristic of the invention, the mast has a wing-shaped section; such a configuration is particularly advantageous from an aerodynamic point of view as it results in a significant decrease in drag or resistance to advancement, and in parallel on the plane structural in terms of the rigidity of the mast: in fact, the mainsail fabric is then mounted so as to stress the mast according to its greatest inertia.
Il est à noter que, conformément à l'invention, la rigidité latérale du mât est assurée exclusivement par celui-ci, en particulier dans le cas d'un profil en aile. La rigidité longitudinale peut, quant à elle, être « consolidée » par les drisses des voiles renvoyées vers l'arrière ou un hauban avant longitudinal à poste (étai) raidi par une bastaque si cet étai sert de support au guindant d'une voile d'avant par exemple. It should be noted that, in accordance with the invention, the lateral rigidity of the mast is exclusively ensured by it, in particular in the case of a wing profile. The longitudinal stiffness can be "Consolidated" by the halyards of the sails returned to the rear or a longitudinal front shroud with stiffened post (forestay) by a bastaque if this stay serves as a support for the luff of a head sail for example.
Les caractéristiques du voilier qui fait l'objet de l'invention seront décrites plus en détail en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un voilier conforme à l'invention,
- la figure la est une vue détaillée de la rotule et du pied du mât,
- les figures 2a, 2b et 2c sont des schémas représentant les différents axes de pivotement du mât,
- les figures 3a et 3b représentent respectivement un voilier classique et un voilier conforme à l'invention en cours de navigation.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a sailboat according to the invention,
- FIG. 1a is a detailed view of the ball and socket of the mast,
- FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c are diagrams showing the different pivot axes of the mast,
- Figures 3a and 3b respectively represent a conventional sailboat and a sailboat according to the invention during navigation.
Il est à noter que les figures représentent à titre d'exemple un mât basculant et tournant articulé sur rotule ; cette configuration bien que préférentielle ne doit bien entendu pas être considérée comme étant limitative de l'invention.It should be noted that the figures represent example a tilting and rotating mast articulated on ball joint ; this configuration although preferential should not of course not be considered as limiting of the invention.
Selon la figure 1, le voilier conforme à
l'invention est essentiellement constitué d'une coque 1 qui
est fermée par un pont 2 à sa partie supérieure et se prolonge
vers le bas par une quille 3, de manière à assurer la
flottaison ainsi que d'un mât 4 implanté dans la coque 1 et
portant la voilure non représentée.According to FIG. 1, the sailboat conforming to
the invention essentially consists of a shell 1 which
is closed by a
Plus précisément et selon la figure la, le mât 4
est monté sur un palier de type rotule 5 fixé au niveau du
pont 2 et coulisse, par son extrémité inférieure 6 sur un
rail en carbone 7 inséré en fond de coque ; des organes de
manoeuvre non représentés permettent d'orienter le mât 4 et
de le bloquer dans différentes positions angulaires à partir
du cockpit.More precisely and according to FIG. 1a, the mast 4
is mounted on a ball-type bearing 5 fixed at the level of the
Selon les figures 2a, 2b et 2c, le mât 4 peut respectivement basculer d'un angle α autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal x-x' de la coque 1 (figure 2a), d'un angle β autour d'un axe coïncidant avec cet axe longitudinal x-x' (figure 2b) ou encore d'un angle γ autour d'un axe essentiellement vertical perpendiculaire à ces deux axes de pivotement (figure 2c). According to Figures 2a, 2b and 2c, the mast 4 can respectively tilt by an angle α around a perpendicular axis to the longitudinal axis x-x 'of the shell 1 (figure 2a), by an angle β around an axis coinciding with this axis longitudinal x-x '(Figure 2b) or an angle γ around of an essentially vertical axis perpendicular to these two pivot axes (Figure 2c).
Les angles de basculement α,β maxima sont tous deux de 45° dans un sens ou dans un autre tandis que l'angle γ maximum peut éventuellement même dépasser ± 90°.The maximum tilt angles α, β are all two 45 ° one way or the other while the angle γ maximum can possibly even exceed ± 90 °.
Selon la figure 2c, le mât 4 a une section en forme d'aile ce qui permet de garantir une rigidité latérale maxima compte tenu du fait que la grand voile V représentée schématiquement sollicite celui-ci selon sa plus grande inertie.According to FIG. 2c, the mast 4 has a cross section wing shape which guarantees lateral rigidity maximum taking into account the fact that the mainsail V shown schematically requests it according to its greatest inertia.
Selon la figure 3a, en présence d'un vent dirigé selon la flèche A, le voilier s'incline latéralement (gíte) en entraínant, bien entendu, le mât 4 dans ce mouvement ; l'avancement du voilier est alors pénalisé par la gravité g du mât 4 qui s'exerce verticalement à partir du centre de gravité G de celui-ci par la diminution de la surface projetée de la voilure sur un plan vertical, par l'orientation des filets d'air qui font un angle de 70 à 75° avec la voilure.According to Figure 3a, in the presence of a directed wind according to arrow A, the sailboat tilts laterally (heel) by entraining, of course, the mast 4 in this movement; the progress of the sailboat is then penalized by gravity g mast 4 which is exerted vertically from the center of gravity G of it by the decrease in the projected surface of the canopy on a vertical plane, by the orientation of air streams which make an angle of 70 to 75 ° with the wing.
Selon la figure 3b, l'invention permet de supprimer cet inconvénient grâce à l'orientation au vent du mât 4 qui permet le déplacement du centre de gravité G au centre de rotation du bateau grâce au pivotement de ce mât et ainsi de présenter la totalité de la surface de voilure en tant que surface projetée sur un plan vertical et une orientation des filets d'air à 90° de la voile.According to FIG. 3b, the invention makes it possible to remove this drawback thanks to the windward orientation of the mast 4 which allows the displacement of the center of gravity G to the center of rotation of the boat thanks to the pivoting of this mast and so present the entire sail area as projected surface on a vertical plane and an orientation of 90 ° air nets from the sail.
