Cet appareil fut d'abord constitué de quatre pièces verticales qui étaient des sapines, assemblées entre elles, et au milieu desquelles un treuil élevait la charge. Très rapidement les sapines furent remplacées par des poteaux formés chacun de deux ou trois madriers boulonnés les uns contre les autres, qu'il était facile d'entrer, un par un, sur une certaine hauteur. On a fabriqué ensuite des sapines faites de grosses cornières de fer surmontées d'un treuil muni d'une flèche (...) 4, record 5, French, - sapine

Les dépassements en vitesse pure seront fréquents et lorsqu'un voilier en rattrape un autre, il doit respecter la règle de base no 2 (art 37-2) et s'écarter de la roue du bateau en route libre devant. D'ailleurs le voilier rattrapé, s'il doit se conformer à la règle 39, c'est-à-dire ne pas laisser porter au-delà de sa route normale, lorsqu'il se trouve à moins de trois longueurs hors tout en avant ou au vent du yacht le plus long (pour empêcher le voilier le plus rapide de le dépasser), a en revanche, le droit de lofer, comme il lui convient (art 38-1) pour empêcher l'autre de passer. Cette situation bien particulière s'appelle le luffing match. 1, record 23, French, - lofing%2Dmatch
