The invention relates to a rigging (2) for a floating or rolling vehicle (1), comprising: a foot housing (5) intended for being hingedly mounted on said vehicle (1); two masts (6, 7) each including a lower end secured to said foot housing (5); a sail (9) extending between said two masts (6, 7) and having a top (18); at least one boom (8a) transversely linking said two masts (6, 7) the theoretical plane P of said boom (8a) dividing said sail (9) into two portions: a surface (9a) of said sail (9) starting at said plane P and extending towards said foot housing (5) and a surface (9b) of said sail (9) starting at said plane P and extending towards the top (18), said boom (8a) making it possible to maintain and/or position said rigging (2); and characterised in that said sail (9) is semi-rigid and adopts, at rest, at least one stable shape; in that said two masts (6, 7) are symmetrical relative to a longitudinal axis X of said rigging (2), extending between said top (18) of said sail (9) and said foot housing (5), such that each mast (6, 7) can act alternately as leading edge and trailing edge; and in that said at least one stable shape of said sail (9) is bowed at rest, wherein the concavity of said bowed shape is in the direction of said boom (8a), and the maximum dip (9') of said bowed shape is located at the surface (9a) of said sail (9) starting at said plane P and extending towards said foot housing (5).
