The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned sailboats, and discloses a dual-mode wing sail suitable for supplying energy to a long-voyage unmanned sailboat and a control method.The dual-mode wing sail comprises a rotating base, a curved-surface shell, a fan system and a lifting system, the rotating base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the curved-surface shell and used for installing the wing sail on the unmanned sailboat, and the fan system is arranged on the rotating base; an inner cavity for installing the fan system and the lifting systems is formed in the middle of the curved-surface shell, the lifting systems are arranged on the two sides of the inner cavity of the curved-surface shell, the fan system is fixedly installed on the upper portion of the inner cavity of the curved-surface shell, the lifting systems are used for isolation and access of the fan system, and the fan system is used for converting wind energy into electric energy. Starting from the wing sail structure, wind power
