I sail my 192 asym solo, mostly in lighter winds, but I'm getting more confident.
I have the halyard led down the mast to a swiveling cam cleat, so I can hoist and drop from the companionway. Tack line was rigged by PO, on port side, aft of the coachroof, on the side, and is a cam cleat. It goes to a single block on the u-bolt in the deck (where the old Schaefer furling drum used to attach) and then up to a bullseye on the front of the pulpit next to the bi-color light. I have 1 continuous sheet with eye stitched in the middle, giving 2 sheets. It attached to clew with a Dyneema soft shackle I made. I may some time convert this eye to an alpine butterfly knot, if I ever see evidence of my stitching and whipping wearing or coming undone, especially if I fly it in stronger wind. Sheets go to a block on the aft "handles" and forward to a ratchet block on the stanchion base at the back of the house.
I launch from a turtle clipped to the lifeline just aft of the pulpit. To douse, I set my Tiller Clutch, stand in the cabin, and control the sheet. Then I blow the tack and pull the foot back together, blow the halyard, and start stuffing into the cabin. It would be good to make a PVC pipe frame to lay over the open hatch, with a nylon "clothes hamper" hanging down, and thus launch and douse from there. If I douse into the cabin, as it is now, I have to go below and re-pack the turtle. Since I don't race and don't hoist and douse frequently, this isn't a big problem.
I try to gybe the chute around the outside. I think this gets easier as the wind gets up, because if you let the sheet out, it will start to fly out front, and then you gybe quickly and sheeting on the other side is easier if the clew can get around the forestay. There isn't enough room to gybe between the luff and forestay. If you had an extendable bowsprit, then you could gybe inside. Last time I had crew with me, I was thinking the gybing would be easier, but she did not understand the concept of flying the chute out and around - timing is everything, and you get your hands full steering the gybe, controlling and throwing the main over, while still trying to gybe the chute. It would be so much easier with competent crew
