I think the 36 will be fine if you set it up right. On my 40 I have a Tides Strongtrack, which allows me to haul the main up almost all the way before I have to resort to a winch. I sail with a number three on the furler, which is easy to roll up without having to use a winch and easy to tack without disturbing she-who-must-not-be-disturbed. A good autopilot makes singlehanding much easier.
