This seems to be a case in point for the advantages of a fractional rig, since it employs a smaller headsail. Though my boat is a masthead rig, I only have a 110% headsail. Though not the optimum sail, it is, quite manageable for a singlehander.
What I do, when tacking is to have both sheets, with one turn around the winch, in my hands, spin the wheel hard about, then take care of the headsail before bringing the boat to course. Works well for me, but then, I'm not racing, or worried about losing a smidgen of way versus, controlling the jib.
Currently back in New Bern, NC
