The invention pertains to a Pacific prao-type amphidromic multihull vessel (100), comprising a hull (101) and a float (102) parallel to the hull, the float and the hull being linked by a beam (130) the hull carrying a Flettner-type rotary rigging (111, 112) capable of producing a thrust perpendicular to both its spinning axis (110) and a wind direction (180), that in absence of wind is heeled by an angle α toward the float. The invention also pertains to a system implementing such a vessel for collecting windpower into a storage battery housed in the float as well as a method for boarding and disembarking such a battery.
