ABSTRACT:
What has been created is the fastest sail boat that can act as a tugboat or industrially used to pull a water turbine for the production of electricity or compressed air, as compared to the capabilities of the prior arts of equal size and form. This is attained by the use of water as counterweight contained and locked-in inside an impervious pipe which may be of the same length as the boat, which is attached at the side or preferably under the hulls of a catamaran type boat, or which is attached to each lower side of a mono-hull boat;--by erecting as many large square sails as possible along the longitudinal axis of the boat in an arrangement to form an aggregate dwarf sail to bring down the centroid of the aggregate wind force close to the level of the boat to minimize the overturning moment of the wind upon the boat, thereby maximizing wind contact within the stability limits of the boat;--by making the hulls vertically thin to minimize resistance thru the water;--by adding a short float booster pipe on top of the main floater pipes, which extends beyond the front and rear ends of the hull to provide extra buoyancy on the sinking side when the boat is tilted too far.
