A sail body for forming part of a wind assisted propulsion device

A method of manufacturing a sail body (3, Fig 1)) for forming part of a wind assisted propulsion device (4, Fig 1), the method comprising the steps of: laying a first fabric 14, formed from first fibres, onto a mould (16, Fig 5) defining the shape of a part 2 of the sail body; laying a plurality of...

Zusammenfassung:A method of manufacturing a sail body (3, Fig 1)) for forming part of a wind assisted propulsion device (4, Fig 1), the method comprising the steps of: laying a first fabric 14, formed from first fibres, onto a mould (16, Fig 5) defining the shape of a part 2 of the sail body; laying a plurality of strips 22, formed from second fibres, onto a surface of the first fabric such that at least some of the second fibres extend longitudinally along the sail body. The wind assisted propulsion device may be a rotor sail and the sail body may be a rotor sail body. A sail body part is also disclosed that comprises a first skin 14 formed from a first fibrous material formed from first fibres and a plurality of strips 22 extending longitudinally along the sail body. Each strip is formed from a second fibrous material formed from second fibres at least some of which extend longitudinally along the sail body.
