The invention relates to a “wing” type rigid sail fragmented into independent segments, where general principle involves diving the rigid sail into different segments that can position themselves independently from neighboring segments, depending on the wind received, with the profile of the sail controlled following two independent but complementary methods, where the segments at the front of the sail are linked together by their front flap, through a process that allows adjusting their relative freedom, playing on the angle that each segment can take compared to neighboring segments, and on the back of the “sail sheet”, the rope allowing sail adjustment links each segment by its back flap, top to bottom, allowing for adjustment of the opening up of the sail while keeping the desired flexibility of the sail.
