Why not? You will need keel area, and a large rudder. A long
keelson a foot deep might do, or leeboards. Leeboards might be
best, their angle of attack could be adjustable.
You will need a sizeable mast. Consider an "A" frame made from
longline outrigger gear, with forestay and backstay only. You
would set only stays'ls without booms, or hoist a dipping yard.
If racing, you will want to start a class association, and get
generous handicap ratings. You will need them.
