It shouldn't be too difficult... though it's a tallish rig for 26 feet it's still not a terribly big sail. If there are two of you, and if the halyard exits the mast over your head it's much easier if someone can 'jump' the halyard at the mast while someone else tails by hand at the winch. Once the sail is up you can tension it from the cockpit.
Alternatively if it is a big deal electric halyard winches are available... but I don't think a Nonsuch 26 would need it.
You'll likely enjoy the simplicity of that type of rig, though.... Good luck.
