<p> </p><p>This is a Bachelor degree project report describing the</p><p>development process of a trapeze system for dinghy</p><p>sailing. The project was performed in cooperation with</p><p>Seldén Mast AB, manufacturer of spars and rigging</p><p>systems for yachts and dinghies.</p><p>The trapeze system is used in some dinghy sailing</p><p>classes. It is used to move the weight of the crew outside</p><p>of the boat to compensate the force created by the wind</p><p>in the sails. The system consists of a number of</p><p>components. Focus of the project was set on the position</p><p>adjustment device and the attachment to the harness.</p><p>The product development process included a pre study,</p><p>a Product Design Specification, a function analysis,</p><p>concept development, embodiment, and detail design.</p><p>The project resulted in three products: two variants of</p><p>trapeze cleats (adjustment devices) and a trapeze ring (to</p><p>enable attachment to the harness).</p><p> </p>
