UNIVERSAL CENTERBOARD CONSOLE

A centerboard device for a sailing vessel for carrying, binding with the vessel hull, providing a wide range of operating positions, retracting and extending the centerboard plane with minimally possible own dimensions, characterized in that it does not change properties after multiple mounting/dismounting cycles, suitable for installation on hulls of various types and dimensions beneath and above the waterline and capable of carrying centerboard planes of different types and dimensions, to this end implemented in a form of a console with a connection flange to be mounted on a vessel, comprising a center-pin in the cam with mutually perpendicular rotation axes for fixing the centerboard and deflecting the latter within the vessel DP to the position, when its axial rotation to press the plane thereof to the vessel bottom would not cause overturning torque when the vessel moves, to this end the center-pin is fixed against premature axial rotation with a cutout on the end of the head thereof, the latter sliding along the console body groove, till the rare edge of the centerboard reaches the vessel bottom, and the center-pin head rolled with holes on its lateral surface on pins in the console body wall, to provide small ratio between the axial rotation and the total shift of the centerboard and pressing the latter to the vessel hull.
