Abrégé

An assembly including a profiled sail, a mast and several cambering devices for the profiled sail. The cambering devices including a semi-rigid structure, elastically deformable, including two length sections, extending in front of one another, forming respectively a first length section secured to a first surface of the profiled sail and a second length section secured to a second surface of the profiled sail, a U-shaped connecting section, interconnecting the first length section and the second length section while extending them. A system reduces the surface area of the profiled sail exposed to the wind, and configured to reduce the surface area of the profiled sail including several sections of the profiled sail as well as structural cambering devices.

The present invention relates to a telescopic profiled wing system (1) for propelling a vehicle by means of wind, the profiled wing system comprising a mast (M) and a set of telescopic segments (SG) which cooperate with one another during guidance, and wherein the telescopic segments are configured to form a profiled wing (AP) at least in a deployed position (P1), in which the various telescopic segments extend, with respect to one another, in the direction of the mast (M) to form the profiled wing, the profiled wing having a first wing surface (S1) and a second wing surface (S2) which are distributed on either side of the mast (M), the system being configured to switch from the deployed position (P1) into a retracted position, in which the various segments (SG) are telescoped into one another, the profiled wing (AP) then being in a position that takes up less space with respect to the deployed position.

The present disclosure relates to a wind-powered container ship that has at last one hull (2) comprising a hold (3) configured to accommodate a row of containers (Co), the containers being longitudinally oriented in the transverse direction of the ship, and a transshipment system (4, 4) comprising an overhead travelling crane configured to travel above the containers of the row in the longitudinal direction, between sails of the ship, and a hoisting system (5) installed on the overhead travelling crane. During unloading, the hoisting system (5) is configured to hoist the container out of the hold and to move the container laterally in a cantilevered manner in order to unload same. The overhead travelling crane can be anchored to the hull when sailing in order to limit deformation thereof. The hoisting system is retracted onto the overhead travelling crane and into a position in which it occupies minimal vertical space, thereby eliminating the risk of interference with the sails.

Abrégé

The present disclosure relates to an assembly comprising a wingsail, a mast and multiple camber-adjusting devices for a wingsail, the camber-adjusting devices comprising: - an elastically deformable semi-rigid structure comprising: -- two lengthwise sections, one extending ahead of the other, forming a first lengthwise section which is secured to a first area of the wingsail and a second lengthwise section which is secured to a second area of the wingsail, respectively; and -- a U-shaped connecting section extending from and connecting the first lengthwise section and the second lengthwise section. Said assembly comprises a system for reducing the area of the wingsail catching the wind, which system is configured to reduce the area of the wingsail comprising multiple wingsail sections (SV1 to SV5), and structural camber-adjusting devices (10 to 14).
