Tom,
I hope you are joking about single handing your sailboat.
You would need three people to safely handle a boat this size. One on the
helm, one handling the mainsail and one the jib. Ideally you would have a
crew of 5, if you plan on flying a spinnaker or even using a whisker pole
on your downwind runs.
It looks like this boat was set up for racing. Do you plan on doing some
beer can races?

Should be fun single handing a Maxi.
