I know some people sail catamarans solo, but it's hard for me to imagine how I would control the jib, the mainsail, and the rudder all by myself (one hand on the rudder, one hand on the main sheet, and a third hand on the jib sheet?).



On the other hand, I did fine on a rented Hobie Wave sailing solo on Lake Union, but that doesn't have a jib. Should I just leave the jib off my Prindle 16 to sail solo? Is a Unarig made sufficiently different from a sloop-rigged cat that a Prindle 16 without a jib would be harder to control than a Unarig?



Or is there a trick that I'm missing? If there is a trick, should I wait until I have more experience before trying it?
