Your spinnaker is just a small bit larger than mine – less than a foot longer in the foot and a few feet taller. That is possible to handle with two folks on the foredeck – end for end jibing and a 13 foot pole. On the 30-1, our pole is 13 ½ feet and our hoist is 39 whereas yours is 44. We have been doing end-for-end and using a single set of sheets for over 25 years with success.
We do have a set of twings – the lines are run through blocks on the rail at the widest point and run back to cam cleats/blocks near the cockpit. We use them all the time, pull them tight when jibing, letting the ‘sheet’ end loose and keeping the pole end tight. We are not very brave and do not do serious reaching with the chute because it is full and high shouldered – would like to have a smaller, flatter, chute for reaching, but that just adds complexity for our short races. The 30-1 is very stout, I don’t know how tender the 33 is. I have crewed on a number of boats with sheets/guys and dipping and I find our way is much simpler – and not so prone to mistakes. But I’ve crewed on J-80’s and find a sprit and asym easiest of all. The 115 I will be on tonight with an extra long pole is most difficult to get right. Keep it simple and you will find it enjoyable.

I've always been an end-for-end foredeck crew but that was on someone else's boat. With just 2 spin-lines (1 guy and 1 sheet) it kept the setup simple. We had twing blocks but only set them as an after though and most of the time not even then. The downhaul was usually effective enough unless we were forced to be on really deep down wind runs for a long time. The helmsman and tactician knew this was a slow point of sail so they avoided that point of sail. I've learned from this list that the end-for-end is typically good for boats up to 35-ish feet. Much over that and the pressures involved with such a large pole and kite become difficult for even the biggest of crew to manage.
