You can put a sail on a sit-on-top kayak and sail it like a sailing dinghy... even without a rudder. This video takes you for a spin on my rudderless sailing kayak. You may even want to fabricate and sail your own sailing kayak. I can help you do that.
I love the simplicity of this rig. The one disadvantage I see is that it tends to turn away from the sail when you are going downwind. Perhaps a higher aspect rig or a balanced rig (like a balanced lug) would move the C of E closer to the boat center and reduce the turning.
