Claims8
A Multi-hull sailing vessel comprising a plurality of floats extending along their longitudinal axes, transverse structure interconnecting said floats, and flotational means positioned above said floats, said interconnecting transverse structure spacing apart said floats along said longitudinal axes and having pivotal means for positioning each of said floats around the longitudinal axes of the other floats by moving the float in the water towards the mast while keeping the float out of the water fixed so as to effect a change in the center of gravity of said vessel in a direction for righting said vessel when said vessel capsizes.
