A sailboat has a preferably solid hull with lateral and longitudinal
symmetry, a centrally located ring-shaped seat secured to a central
portion of the top of an hull, a selectively rotatable carousel being
mounted about an outer circumferential wall of said ring-shaped seat, a
frame being secured to said carousel for retaining a pair of spaced apart
identical sails that slant inward toward one another, a pair of removable
selectively rotatable cylindrical booms being positioned on the frame
with an associated halyard system for controllably furling and allowing
easy reefing of the pair of sails, a pair of selectively removable
rotatable hydrofoils each serving as a rudder and centerboard projecting
downward from the bottom of and proximate the ends of the hull, a
steering wheel being secured to the hull at the center of the ring-shaped
seat and linked to each of the hydrofoils, whereby the carousel can be
selectively rotated to position the sails at any desired angular position
relative to the direction of the wind, without interfering with crew
members who sit facing inward on the ring-shaped seat. Color-coded
spaced-apart markings about a top circular portion of the carousel,
relative to stripes applied to the top of the seat, show at a glance the
angle of the frame to the seat, representative of the angle of the sails
to the hull.
