I'm concerned about using windsurfer rigs/sails. The camber is built into a windsurfer sail when it is initially rigged. The only control a windsurfer has is basically the traveler. I don't think this will give suffiecient gust response especially for a kid.

I'm thinking a boomless rig like the Bravo or like the N6.0 may be the answer. You could even roll the sail around the mast to store it. You could also even shorten sail by reefing it around the mast.

Oh yeah, And I think a Hobie Bob type device would be a requirement. I know the kids around my lake like to go out and turn their lasers over all the time for fun.
