Hobie makes a sail for their line of kayaks. I have one and it is a blast to use.
Also a good sail maker you might look into is Ulman sails. My brother's racing Sabot and my grandpa's 32' Erickson both have Ulman sails.

I'd be concerned that a sabot sized sail might be too much for a kayak with out out riggers and dagger board. Most yak sails I have ever seen are much smaller. Tacking would most likely be impossible and you'd be limited to maybe 30 degrees from straight down wind. It would still be helpful though. Mike
