Sail propulsion assembly for a vessel (100), comprising at least two rigid sails (10) arranged at a distance along a vessel axis (N) and forming wings with an aerodynamic profile extending along a sail axis (A), wherein each rigid sail (10) is mounted pivotably about the sail axis (A) and about a recumbency pivot axis (P), between a hoisted position in which the sail axis (A) is perpendicular to a vessel plane formed by the recumbency pivot axis (P) and the vessel axis (N), and a recumbent position on the edge or an overlapping recumbent position, in which the sail axis (A) is parallel to the vessel plane and forms a non-zero angle with respect to the vessel axis (N).
