A ship rig (2) especially for a motor- and sail-driven ship (1) and comprising a mast (4) preferably placed in the side. The rig (2) furthermore comprises two elongated supports (8) extending transversely to the mast (4) and placed on the mast (4) in a mutual distance corresponding to a sail. Each support (8) has a sail boom (14) which is rotatably mounted on the end part of the support (8) opposite the mast (4) by means of a rotatable connection (15) such as a bearing or a hinge. Thereby, the ship rig (2) is given a lighter construction and can be manufactured at a lower price than the conventional rigs of this kind. At the same time, the rig (2) will be easier to handle and control than known so far.
