I have been windsurfing for 47 years. The windsurfer rig, sometimes called wishbone Rig would work on any sailing craft, multihull or monohull. When the rig is attached to the hull with universal joint, then you steer using the sail (moving the center of effort forward to fall off the wind and aft to turn closer to the wind, no rudder is needed. The rudder is like a brake unless it is in aligned with the center line of the boat. One more interesting thing about the wishbone rig is the foot of the sail act like a boom vang, preventing too much twist in the top of the sail.
