Sailing into the Wind

Size: 21 x 9 x 47 cm
Crank mechanism, disc-cam-operated

Sometimes life is like a cruise on troubled waters, and it is difficult then to keep one´s balance.

The handle moves an eccentric disc, which raises a ram and tilts the boat to the side. The mainsail turns out of the wind, and the sailor pulls the rudder and lays over the ship´s side to keep his balance.
