Device making possible the conversion of a sailboard into a sailing boat having the property of remaining stable on the water and preventing it from listing dangerously or turning over under the effect of the wind in the sails. A longitudinal tube 2 mounted on a sailboard 1 is held at its ends by a sleeve 3, 4. The assembly of the two floats 7 and 8 is mounted on this tube 2. These floats, by the hydrostatic effect of the water, stabilise the sailing boat. The assembly of the two floats connected by a tube 15 and 16 is mounted on the mast 22. Soldered onto the bottom of the mast is a ring sleeve 21 which oscillates on the axis of the tube 2, on both sides of the sailing boat under the pressure of the wind. The stay shroud 25, tensioned by virtue of two shrouds 23 and 24, makes it possible to mount a jib. All these riggings and sails oscillate with the mast. With the aid of a sleeve which can be displaced along the tube, the seat of the helmsman 26 is fixed on the longitudinal tube 2. Among the most important applications: - sailing schools, sailing accessible to elderly people; - navigation, sport, leisure. IMAGE
