Rxbot-
The selection of "fast daysailers" in the 21-24' is pretty weak. If he doesn't have the need for trailerability, and wants decent performance, the three boats I recommended are all excellent daysailers, with the ability to be used for the occasional cocktail cruise. All three of these models are raced as one-designs, and are probably considered fairly sporty as such.
The soling and the sonar often are rigged with self-tacking jibs, which would make single-handing the boat much simpler, per the OPs request, and retrofitting an Etchells with such a setup would be rather simple.
BTW, BTW Nowhere in his OP does he ask for a boat with a cabin. Also, I don't see you making any recommendations.... so kindly STFU. 
The Cal 21 would be another good suggestion, but had already been made.
While Compac and a few other companies make a fair number of boats in that size range, I seriously doubt anyone would consider most of them "sporty" daysailers... most are either family daysailers with an emphasis on capacity rather than speed, or pocket cruisers, with an emphasis on versatility and amenities rather than speed.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
