There is a book called Singlehanded Sailing, I think it''s by a guy named Henderson. It''s a really good book, and has a whole chapter devoted to different sheet to tiller configurations. The simplest seems to be to run the jib sheet around it''s leward wench a couple of times, then once around the wench on the windward side, then tie it to the tiller. Then, tie a shock cord on the leward side of the tiller. The shock cord will try to pull the boat up into the wind, but the pull from the jib will keep the boat down.
