Inflatable wing sail with an aero-optimised leading edge, which is able to comprise, within said leading edge, at least one textile reinforcement, sewn along the entire length of said leading edge; said textile reinforcement being defined as "bulkhead" and dividing the inflatable air chamber of said leading edge into two separate air chambers, thereby halving the bulk with a positive influence on the aerodynamic efficiency of this wing sail when in use; said inflatable wing sail being capable of maintaining its shape and rigidity also on the ends of said two air chambers, by means of a plurality of reinforcements that can be adjusted and customised by any user.
