Not the Nacra 570! I used to sail the 5.7 and it is HUGE.

In my experience, it was very difficult to balance the boat uni-rigged and it was very difficult to right with a crew and almost impossible alone.

I actually sold my 5.7 (and I did love the boat) to get a Nacra 5.2 to sail solo.

In my opinion, the Hobie 17, the Isotope and the Nacra 5.2 would all make great singlehanded boats and the Fx-one, Inter17 and the A-Class are singlehandled "dreamboats".

I also heard great things about the Dart18, it was designed to be both a crew boat and a singlehandled boat. Personnally, I still think that a boardless boat is more difficult to right up after a capsize so I would suggest to look at small cats with boards.
