When I taught sailing at San Diego Naval Yacht Club, when the students advanced from Sabots to Catalina 15s, part of the course was sailing without a rudder. It was only for about a quarter hour per student. But with 2 or 3 students (crowded) in the boat they experienced overall a longer time. It is a matter of balancing your sails and movable weights in the boat.
Now this should be practiced if you can ship your rudder and give it a try. Have fun
