Wind surfing board handling equipment - has pair of arms to lift, hoist and stow on sailing boat support operated by counterweight rope

摘要

The equipment lifts, hoists and stows wind surfing boards on sailing craft. An aluminium bar acts as the main support (1), and two perpendicular parts (2) serve as a gauge/guide to keep the board in position. Two pivoted arms (3) with U-shaped profiles grip the board. A counterweight (4) opens the arms and keeps the system in a vertical position and the main support out of the water. Two floats (5) keep a sufficient spacing between the surface of the water and the main support to allow the board to be introduced. A rope end (6) with two knots closes the arms to lift the board.
