If you put the rig on the windward side, you get the righting moment of the weight of the boat + weight of crew + weight of rig.

Not so. You get practically no advantage of weight when you put the rig on the windward hull. The only thing resisting the boat rotating upside down is the amount of buoyancy in the leeward hull. When you do use this to keep the boat upright, you depress the hull more in the water. You will get some minor lifting effect on the windward hull - but it will be small.
