Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a method and a kit to fit an awning on a sailboat.
  • the method and the kit of the present invention enable to fit on a sailboat an awning such as to be opened/closed by a single person, even in conditions of strong wind and rough sea.
  • Traditional sailboat tents are generally comprised of a large piece of canvas shaped like a regular trapezium with almost equal bases, or even rectangular with the function of covering the after part (Mast/Stern) of the boat.
  • the tent when fit and opened on the sailboat, has the following arrangement:
  • Suchlike tents entail various drawbacks, such as the intricacy in the opening and closing steps (which can never be carried out by a single person, save in the absence of wind) and stowage requirements when not in use (taking up precious space in the peaks).
  • Patent Application GB2273470 discloses an assembly system for a boat tent providing the winding up of the awning into two rigid housings fixed on the two sides of the boom. This system entails numerous drawbacks:
  • the tent only covers a small zone of the boat
  • each housing it is provided the presence of a rigid central shaft (supported by the housing) around which the awning is wound;
  • the tubular container has to be of a length such as not to be stowable in a peak;
  • the two sheetings that are wound up the one on the other must be of equal length, otherwise the longer one might be unwound only for a length equal to that of the shortest one.
  • Object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing a kit as substantially described in claim 1 .
  • Object of the present invention is also a method to fit an awning on a sailboat as substantially described in claim 8.
  • Figs. 1 A-1 D show a schematic sequence in which the awning fit with an embodiment of the kit of the present invention is wound back in its container.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing in detail the coupling of the awning and of its container according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 3 shows a view of the same detail of Fig. 2 in a cross section.
  • Fig. 4 shows a view of the boom of Fig. 5.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section in which the awning is fit with the kit according to an embodiment of the kit of the present invention, on a sailboat without lazy-bag.
  • the present invention refers to a kit to fit on a sailboat a tent (awning) capable of covering the entire zone between mast and stern.
  • the kit comprises at least two half-sheets 1 of preferably rectangular or trapezoidal shape, each one comprising first coupling means 2 (e.g., eyelets or the like) along the internal edge (centre of the boat) and second coupling means 3 (e.g. eyelets or the like) along the lateral external edge.
  • first coupling means 2 e.g., eyelets or the like
  • second coupling means 3 e.g. eyelets or the like
  • the kit also comprises, for each side, a long sheet fixed along the boom (or along the Lazy-bag, when present), of a width such that the coupling of the means 2 (eyelets or textile, etc.), present along the opposite edge, to the means 5 makes up a sort of container bag 4.
  • Each half-sheet (that can anyhow be easily detached from the coupling means 5 in case a stowage thereof is desired) remains fixed, enclosed by the related container 4 along the two sides of the boom with a minimum transversal encumbrance and immediately available for opening.
  • each half-sheet could provide a small-diameter rigid tube (or rod) 8 fit along the front part of the lateral external edge:
  • the usefulness of the rigid tube 8 is that of facilitating, in course of closing, especially in the presence of wind, the action of the person attending to it; said person, by lifting said tube 8 by the central part, can couple the coupling means 3, thereby creating a sort of pocket in which to put away at leisure the members (ropes, strops, canvas parts, etc.) possibly left out, to then couple the other coupling means 3 before proceeding to the final closing with 4.
  • the kit of the present invention comprises:
  • each half-sheet is equipped with eyelets or other coupling means
  • Lazy-bag if Lazy-bag is present: to the rigid rod to which Lazy-jack terminals are attached; b) if Lazy-bag is absent: to bridges fit along the upper surfaces of the boom, or to the strip reinforcing the luff of the mainsail base.
  • each half-sheet On the front lateral edge (mast/lift) of each half-sheet it is fit a rod or rigid tube 8, along which a row of eyelets is fit, arranged as indicated at B); said member facilitates the closing step, since by lifting it and coupling it by the central zone a sort of compartment is created, inside which ropes and canvas parts left out before coupling all other means can be inserted at leisure;
  • Object of the present invention is also a method to fit an awning on a sailboat, comprising the following steps:
  • the method of the present invention will preferably be carried out by utilizing the kit described herein.
  • kit from an open-awning to a closed-awning position.
  • the steps described hereinafter are carried out for both sides of the boom.
  • the container 4 of a maximum length equal to that of the boom and a height, e.g., of 30 cm, is fixed.
  • the housing is equipped with an odd-number series of metallic or textile eyelets arranged along the bottom edge.
  • a series of Montgomery-type or equivalent buckle-holding houselines are longitudinally coupled so as to match eyelets position.
  • the lazy-bag is absent from the boat, on each one of the two top half- sides of the boom there could be fit a long rectangular-section flattened rod made of mahogany or aluminum, on which the bridges for coupling be fixed, which bridges may also be fixed directly along the top edges of the boom (see Fig. 4).
  • a Lazy-bag is present, in the near-totality of cases the latter includes (see Fig. 2) a seat equipped with some openings (usually no more than 4) containing a rigid plastics rod to which the Lazy-jack is coupled.
  • the coupling means 2 can be coupled to this same rod. Initially the awning is open and fit on the boat (Fig. 1 A) then the awning is folded vertically and the rear part of the half-sheet is coupled to the corresponding buckles (Fig. 1 B); Fig.
  • 1 C relates to the position after the last closing (that of container 4); then, the assembly is folded horizontally and coupled, with the means arranged along the rigid tube 8, to the buckles, and finally the whole is furled and closed in its container 4 (generated by coupling the eyelets to the corresponding buckles).
