I was interested in you using a Tornado single handedly. Do you use a square top sail (New Rig)? Do you sail your Tornado with just the Main? Jib? Spinaker? How do you find it for trailoring?
I still use the older sail (Pinhead), but that's just because I have not found a good set of used Square tops yet. No spinnaker (yet!). The new rig with the self tacking jib will only make singlehanding easier. I've always found the Tornado is quite easy to depower to a point where it can be handled in 15-20 knots of wind by a single person. Of course, this is not something I'd recommend for a novice, but it is manageable. I sail with both main & jib until the winds gets too much. I then usually drop the main and stow it under the tramp footstraps and sail under jib alone. She handles very nicely and can still hit 10+ knots in a good wind with just the jib. Of course tacking becomes quite difficult, but you can always gybe it very easily and take the long way around to the other windward tack.
I keep my boat in a drysail area with mast up so I can take her out whenever I want. Raising the mast, even with a helper is always a an effort. So much so that it would quickly become a good excuse not to go for a sail.
