Also, Inglefield clips on the intermediate reef points save having to tie them afloat...

Morning
I always sail mine single handed, onboard the jib furler and easy to reef main set up are the two things I rely on. I have reefing lines fitted ready to use so I can quickly reef the main afloat if needed.
Ashore the best change I made was a jockey wheel on the trolley !

Tie the ends of the jib sheets together so that the sheet remains within reach on the thwart. It needs to be a decent knot as it takes a battering in use. I use a double sheet bend and make sure that it¡¯s tight. Also a telescopic tiller extension lets
you sit further forward in the boat. I usually sit with a leg either side of the thwart, or fully forward of the thwart in light winds.

Hi All,
I have been sailing my Hartley Wanderer with crew but am planning to have a go single handed.
Do people regularly do this?
If anyone has any helpful advice on doing this or any modifications to make this easier, that would be much appreciated.?
The boat is already rigged so that the Kicker, Cunnigham and Outhaul have long lines coming back to the thwarts.
Many thanks,
Peter
