A wing sail comprising a first inflatable strut (10) extending in a width direction (Wd), a second inflatable strut (20) extending in a length direction (Ln) from the first inflatable strut, at least one handle (25, 26) mounted on the second inflatable strut, and first and second sail sheets (30, 35) that are spaced apart from one another in a height direction (He). The first inflatable strut (10) defines a leading edge (12) of the wing sail. The first and second sail sheets (30, 35) each comprise a front edge (35F) and a rear edge (35R) that are opposite to one another, wherein the front edges both connect to the first inflatable strut, and wherein the first and second sail sheets both extend rearwardly away from the first inflatable strut towards a trailing edge (40) of the wing sail.
A wing sail, comprising a first inflatable strut extending in a width direction, a second inflatable strut extending in a length direction from the first inflatable strut, at least one handle mounted on the second inflatable strut, and first and second sail sheets that are spaced apart from one another in a height direction, wherein the first inflatable strut defines a leading edge of the wing sail, wherein the first and second sail sheets each comprise a front edge and a rear edge that are opposite to one another, wherein the front edges both connect to the first inflatable strut, and wherein the first and second sail sheets both extend rearwardly away from the first inflatable strut towards a trailing edge of the wing sail, wherein the second sail sheet is interrupted at the second inflatable strut to provide a user with access to the at least one handle and wherein the second sail sheet comprises a slit that is aligned with the second inflatable strut and that is at the location of the at least one handle.
A wing sail comprising a first inflatable strut extending in a width direction, a second inflatable strut extending in a length direction from the first inflatable strut, at least one handle mounted on the second inflatable strut, and first and second sail sheets that are spaced apart from one another in a height direction, wherein the first inflatable strut defines a leading edge of the wing sail, wherein the first and second sail sheets each comprise a front edge and a rear edge that are opposite to one another, wherein the front edges both connect to the first inflatable strut, and wherein the first and second sail sheets both extend rearwardly away from the first inflatable strut towards a trailing edge of the wing sail, and further comprising a centre panel that extends in the height and length directions and that sets a spacing between an upper side of the second inflatable strut and the first sail sheet.
A wing sail, comprising a first inflatable strut extending in a width direction, a second inflatable strut extending in a length direction from the first inflatable strut, at least one handle mounted on the second inflatable strut, and first and second sail sheets that are spaced apart from one another in a height direction, wherein the first inflatable strut defines a leading edge of the wing sail, wherein the first and second sail sheets each comprise a front edge and a rear edge that are opposite to one another, wherein the front edges both connect to the first inflatable strut, and wherein the first and second sail sheets both extend rearwardly away from the first inflatable strut towards a trailing edge of the wing sail, and further comprising an aperture adjacent an end of the first inflatable strut, the aperture passing through at least one of the first and second sail sheets and opening into an interior region between the first and second sail sheets.
