A wingsail, twin-skin sail [1] or double skin sail [2] is a variable-camber aerodynamic structure that is fitted to a marine vessel in place of conventional sails.Wingsails are analogous to airplane wings, except that they are ...
Have Wingsails Gone Mainstream?
The wing's advantages under sail include greater efficiency not just to windward—the wing-equipped boat points 10 degrees higher—but also on a reach, where it performs better in light air than the conventional rig. As wind speed increases and the wing generates lift, the camber can be flattened, and the boat will sail even closer to the wind.
The new wingsail concept that could revolutionise shipping
Today, the configuration remains the sail plan of choice aboard the F50s in SailGP and the development continues. The fleet now has three wing sizes and these high speed foiling cats can operate ...

Wind ships ahead: Technology pulling more power from sails
The principle is reversed in the case of a sailing boat: The wind hits the sail rather than the sail being pushed against the wind. The physics is the same, however. Transferring the two-part concept of the plane wing and flap to a sailing boat results in a wing sail, which consists of two vertical, more or less symmetric, parallel "blades ...
Wally Unveils WOW Sail, Using Wing Sail Technology
No matter the LOA of the yacht, and regardless of conditions, Wally says the WOW Sail bolsters performance by 10 to 30 percent. The speed range is dependent on displacement: The lighter the yacht, the more efficient the wing sail. But to give an idea of what the better performance can mean, Wally says that in 12 knots of wind, the Wally 130 ...
"Wing Yacht" Evidence: Compelling Case for Wingsail
Sailing cats have plenty of fans. Sailing superyacht catamarans have their fans, too. The VPLP design studio sees room for more among the latter thanks to technological advances with wingsails. Evidence, a concept it created, combines the advantages of a cat with the aerodynamic efficiency of this special sail. A wingsail is a rigid wing used in place of traditional sails.
Aero Wing Sail
The Aero Wing Sail is a new type of rig designed to harness the power of the wind, enabling a more sustainable use of yachts. The Aero Wing Sail is designed with ease of use, comfort, and design freedom in mind. The Aero Wing Sail is suitable for all types of yachts, allowing every yacht owner to benefit from its advantages.
What's In A Rig?
Before we address those questions, let's look at how this rig works. Using the America's Cup boats as great examples, a wingsail itself is usually composed of two parts and the surrounding system is essentially three ingredients. The sail has a forward and trailing element. The trailing element is like the flaps on an airplane wing and the ...

Sail Types: A Comprehensive Guide to 8 Types of Sails
Material: Most modern mainsails are made of Dacron (polyester), but high-performance options might use laminate or Kevlar for added strength and durability. Size: Varies based on boat size. A 30-foot sailboat may have a mainsail of around 250-300 square feet. Price: A Dacron mainsail for a 30-foot boat typically costs $2,500 - $3,500. Performance materials can cost upwards of $5,000.
Wingsail crumples on a foiling 50-foot catamaran during SailGP training
The boat was foiling at about 70 kph (43 mph) when the wing measuring 24 meters (79 feet) failed. Video from the boat appears to show the crew beginning a maneuver. While one crewman ran to the jib, which began flapping, another crewman scrambled to the base of the wing and then back to the starboard cockpit, narrowly avoiding the falling debris.
