Alerion 38 "Surprise!"
This is a cool video of Peter Gustafsson out practicing solo on his J/111 in Sweden:

He takes a few liberties and mostly gets away with them due to the light conditions. I like to keep things more tidy and not cross lines over each other so much. There's a nice "letter box" douse at the end, which you don't get to see very often. In preparation for the douse he tosses the tack line and halyard overboard to make sure they'll run out smoothly - it's one way of doing it.
Anything you'd do differently?
