Great boat to sail single handed, fast and roomy but not too heavy onshore. I fully agree with the recommendation for a genoa roller, it makes a big difference to reduce sail quickly. I use a smaller mainsail, unless it is light wind.
Also think about how you will right the boat single handed after a capsize, and climb in unaided from the water, it’s quite high. I copied the grabline/righting line system from (I think it was) a Laser 2000, elasticated but with stoppers to make a loop to stand in to get a step up.
