Command and control device for sails of sailboats or kite sails

A command and control bar for a traction sail of the kite type associated with two front cables and two rear cables, wherein the cables are configured to be connected at one end to the traction sail, the command and control bar has a substantially elongated cylindrical shape, the rear cables are connected to the command and control bar and the front cables are configured to be connected to a user;

• wherein the command and control bar comprises an adjustment element to shorten or extend the front or rear cables to vary an inclination or incidence of the sail, wherein the adjustment element to shorten or extend the rear cables are incorporated into the command and control bar so as to allow control with one hand of the user without releasing the command and control bar;
• wherein each rear cable is associated with a mobile deflection system that creates, for each rear cable, a cable strand of a variable length, the mobile deflection system is displaceable parallel to an axis of the command and control bar and connected to a return element;
• and wherein the command and control bar comprises a locking element configured to lock or release a position of the mobile deflection system along the command and control bar depending on traction forces applied on the rear cables, the locking element is accessible by at least one finger of the user from outside the command and control bar.

A device for a traction sail of the kite type or a sail of a sailboat, connected to said sail by at least one cable or line, the device configured to command and control said sail;

• wherein the device has a substantially elongated cylindrical shape and comprises an adjustment element to shorten or extend said at least one cable to stretch said sail or alter an inclination or incidence of said sail, wherein the adjustment element is incorporated into the device so as to allow control with one hand of a user without having to release the device;
• wherein said at least one cable is associated with a deflection system that creates a cable strand with a variable length, the deflection system is displaceable parallel to an axis of the device and is connected to a return element;
• and wherein the device comprises a locking element configure to lock or release a position of the deflection system along the device depending on traction forces applied on said at least one cable, the locking element is accessible by at least one finger of the user from outside the device.
