ABSTRACT:
The sailing vessel of the present invention includes a hull of omnidirectional construction, and a generally triangular sail which is supported along two side edges, with the third side edge unsupported and extending generally horizontally. The angular position of the sail with respect to the hull is fixed, and the heading of the boat is varied in order to orient the sail at the desired angle with respect to the wind. A pivotally mounted centerboard controls the direction or heading of the boat and control lines are provided for altering the shape of the sail to further control the direction and speed of sailing.
