Just remember two things so you don't break anything expensive.

1. You don't have to put the long boards all the way down if it's blowing, keeping them half way up will keep the hull from popping up in every gust.

2. If you are going to fly the spinnaker in a blow, do not dump off all the mainsheet if you get overpowered, the mast may break. Better to drop the traveler all the way down and bear off quite a bit, the big bows will keep you afloat. I used to sail mine alone in 15+ wind under complete control, just by letting the traveler out and keeping the boards up a bit. Doing those two things really make it much easier. And plenty of down-haul and out-haul.
