Thank you Peter.
There is no rudder however there are two holes, one port and one starboard on the transom that take rollicks and an accompanying oar and I think these will be sufficient to steer the boat. Also I am trying it without a Lee board ( to remain simple).
I have run these types of set ups and I am reasonably confident that I can get away with my approach...it won't sail to windward real flash but in a boat with no ballast there is no value in trying...although in the past these types of rigs have pointed better than I expected...but tacking to windward you really would need to be going with the tide given no lee board and being presumably rather tender.
But all I want is to sail with wind on the beam and not fearing a capsize.
It will have a sweet spot and outside that region I will motor...
