Abstract: Heretofore in a sailboat the upper end of a jib luff wire was connected through a swivel to a halyard near the mast head and the lower end to a drum near the deck. By turning the drum, and therefore the luff wire, a jib would be furled. The jib was unfurled by pulling on a jib sheet connected to a jib clew. The jib was fixed in any selected partially furled conditioned by securing a furling line wound around the drum and by securing the jib sheet. However, the upper end of the luff wire would twist if the force of the wind on the sail was sufficient, causing skewing of the sail with resulting unsightliness, sloppiness, inefficient use of the wind force, and undue stressing of portions of the jib. The present invention provides a device to remedy the aforesaid problem by releasably locking together the two normally relatively rotatably parts of the swivel and by fixing the locked parts to a stationary reference point which preferably is in the vicinity of the swivel and may constitute, for example, the mast or a stay such as the head stay. The two parts of the swivel are biased to interlocked position. They are unlocked from each other by pulling on a clutch control lanyard which may be positioned to run alongside the mast or alongside the head stay. The clutch control lanyard may be prestressed to minimize the effort required to release the clutch and also to keep the clutch control lanyard under tension so it does not flap in the wind. Moreover, a structure may be provided between the clutch control lanyard and a clutch operating lanyard to supply a mechanical advantage so that the pull required on the operating lanyard can be reduced to a value which can be easily handled by a youngster or by a woman.

Abstract: An actuating and control system for a gas blown fog horn including a source of liquified gas. The liquified gas is in continuous communication with an inlet plenum. An outlet plenum is provided which is in continuous communication with the fog horn. Operator control means controls communication between the inlet plenum and outlet plenum and when actuated places said plenums in communication so that the horn is blown. Additionally, an automatic pressure operated blow control means is provided and can be selectively operated for periodically and automatically transferring pressurized gas from the source to the fog horn.
