[quote=davefarmer]I have a 2002 HT, which I love. I do solo it a quite a bit, but I'm overpowered in anything over 12 kts of wind. Very fine bows mean keeping crew weight well aft downwind. I have footstraps mounted to the hulls aft of the rear beam, and I'm in them when solo downwind. I'm usually on the hull at the rear beam with crew straddling me, one foot forward of me, one in the strap, when 2 up. I'm 6', 160 lbs, and I use an extended SoloRight to pop her up solo. All prior comments about treating her with care because of the lightweight construction are apt. Be very cautious when sailing overpowered, one up or two, this boat requires skill and respect. Tami's notes on tacking are very good, I rarely blow a tack, it's easily turned when done properly. Enjoy!
