That's the problem many of us have sailing main alone. 
In Response To: Sails OK under main alone... tacking is the tricky part... ()
Where as on my boat in sheltered areas where water is generally flat and wind moderate or light, it will point a little higher and maintain plenty of way to tack through.
Put it in some wind and a good sea and it can be a struggle to bring it through the wind under main alone.
