Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails : Chapter 2, Level control for a ship with a sail device The invention relates to a ship with a hull and with a sail device which has a telescopic mast with a telescopic axis and can be integrated into a support system, a rescue system and an energy system of the ship with a hydrodynamic level control for the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axis of the ship. The ship has a center of buoyancy, a center of gravity and a metacenter, and is designed with an underwater hull shaped according to hydrodynamic aspects. The underwater hull connects a forecastle to a stern with a keel and has a lower bulkhead deck formed by a double bottom. The hull has longitudinal and transverse bulkhead walls which, together with a plurality of decks, enclose a plurality of vertical, spaced-apart air chambers of a height which form a honeycomb structure and extend parallel to the vertical axis from a lower bulkhead deck to a watertight sealable main deck as an upper deck, substantially over the entire length of the hull along the longitudinal axis and are designed to accommodate the sailing gear. The level of the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axis of the ship is regulated by means of hydrodynamically effective outboard wings that can be extended on the starboard and port sides with a three-part variable wing profile, which are designed for this purpose together with a dynamically displaceable water ballast, the telescopic axis of the telescopic mast installed in an air chamber is always aligned vertically during sailing operation of the ship, whereby the sailing device can be extended beyond the main deck by means of the telescopic mast with a height corresponding to the height of an air chamber in order to enable temporary sailing operation of the ship. The ship according to the invention can be designed according to its respective function as a cargo, passenger, war or work ship. #ResSS2 #resoceanwind #ResSS1 to #ResSS8 #reslevelcontrol #resail #resship #rescruiseship #restelescopicmast #excellence from #theländ Res-institue.com
