	Sailing craft
		Craft according to claim 1, characterized in that in a substantially vertical position of the mast, the said port and starboard fins have a substantially zero, and preferably slightly positive, lift.
		Craft according to claim 4, wherein the angle of swing is limited by elastic means supported and rotated like the said fins, on said pivots on which said fins are supported, and swinging between two stops fixed to structures of the hull.
		In addition, the craft comprises a lever articulated around a horizontal axis in the median longitudinal plane of the craft, and rotatable on itself, the said lever terminating at its upper end in an operating handle and at its lower end in a plane with general shape of a shark's tail.

	History and Development of Great Lakes Water Craft
		Sailing craft built after that date were all rigged with short masts, and were intended as tow-barges.
		Construction of such large craft was possible with the development of new fastenings for wooden hulls, the expanded use of ironwork for strengthening, and the introduction of "hogging-frames" and trusses.
		Sailing craft were entirely displaced by steamers, except in the lumber trade, where they found a niche in later years as tow barges, though their rigging was cut away and their graceful bowsprits cut short.

	Ketch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ketch is a sailing craft with two masts: A main mast, and a mizzen mast abaft the main mast.
		The main fore-and-aft sail on the main mast is called the mainsail, while that on the mizzen is called the mizzen sail.
		The difference is that the ketch has her mizzen mast forward of the rudder post thus having more sail area, which contributes significant forward propulsion, whereas the mizzen on a yawl is aft of the rudder post and is used primarily to balance the sail plan (and as a riding sail while at anchor).

	Novel Aerial Sailing Craft
		This aerial sailing craft, with its 26 pairs of fixed wings, made of large feathers, glued by their quills into light wood slats, measured in spread 20 feet, height 12 feet, and length, fore and aft, 8 feet, and the craft weighed complete on wheels, as illustrated, 55 pounds.
		The normal position of the craft and its center of gravity imparted to all the wings a lifting angle of 1 to 1O to guard against its pitching forward.
		Irish's aerial sailing craft, which greatly depends on the force of gravity for progressive motion, sails on the air by vertically inclined tacks instead of horizontally inclined tacks as a sailing ship driven on the water by the wind.

	SPACE.com -- Solar-Sailing Craft Set for Launch Test Re-Try
		A privately funded spacecraft designed to sail on the pressure of the Sun's rays is set to try for another suborbital test launch on Thursday aboard a converted intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) lifting off from a Russian submarine in the Barents Sea.
		Solar sailing is a technology that could usher in a new wave of planetary exploration by boosting or decreasing the orbits of spacecraft or carrying probes and even humans between planets and beyond, said Louis Friedman, Cosmos 1 project director.
		The sail consists of a large sheet of reflective material and a framework of inflatable girders to keep it extended while it captures the gentle pressure of the Sun's rays.

	Pleasure Craft Operator Free Course
		The sailing craft, which has the wind on the port side, is required to take early and substantial action to keep clear of other sailing vessels.
		On the waterways, a pleasure craft operator determines a safe speed by considering: the state of visibility, the traffic density (including concentration of fishing vessels and other vessels), the state of the wind, the sea and the current, and the proximity of navigational hazards.
		When the pleasure craft is not in sight of other vessels in or near an area of restricted visibility, shall proceed at a safe speed adapted to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility.

	Water sailing craft
		A common design of sailing watercrafts comprises a single hull which is generally elongated in shape and provided with a centerboard or keel.
		Sail 214 can be furled by any ordinary furling device positioned along cable 202, and the sail can be unfurled on either of the port or starboard spar members 28, 30.
		This substantially prevents any possibility of sail 214 becoming entangled with steps 238 during the sailing of watercraft 20 or during the intentional disassembling of watercraft 20.

	Public Comment on Draft Guidelines and Notices for Passenger Vessels
		Sailing craft, in a way, are quite a challenge for people with mobility impairments particularly because balance is important.
		But I was fortunate to sail in, you know, passenger vessels, freighters, to the Orient, to overseas, and so I have a lot of experience as an able-bodied person on large vessels.
		The sails which drive the craft are -- the propulsive forces come from the outside, and they are up on the top of the boat.

		The addition of the aft T- tail which is designed to increase longitudinal stability is a new innovation to speed sailing craft.
		The second phase of the Windjet assault on speed sailing records is to attempt to break the record for ice-sailing craft, (The current record of 143 mph was set in 1938 by a US ice-sailer, the 'Debutante').
		A radical departure from conventional sailing craft design, I view the Windjet watercraft, as maybe the worlds first true 'Sailing Aerofoil'.
