I echo DDabs on the
furling main. The Tartans I've seen all have conventional mains (though some of the newer ones have a Park Avenue-type boom), and that's a lot to handle solo. My wife and I double-hand a
Sabre 402, which has a
mainsail about 10% smaller than the Tartan's, and even with lazy jacks, a stack pack and
autopilot, it can be a beast to wrestle the main down in
weather with the her at the
helm and letting down the
halyard and me on the
cabin top making sure the sail flakes properly on the way down.
Everything else is pretty easy to handle solo, particularly with the
power winch, though some of the things you could do more easily in a smaller boat take longer (it takes two of us a good minute or two to prepare the boat to jibe, for instance). The Tartan self-tacking jib will be nice, but frankly a conventional 100% jib is usually pretty easy to handle anyway.
