Over the years I have used many different sail rigs on my kayaks.  All of my sail rigs conform to the idea that the entire rig - sails, mast, outriggers, can be assembled or disassembled on the water from in the boat, and stored in or on the boat in a safe manner.  All of these sail rigs are capable of sailing upwind.
