When I single hand, I sit well forward of the traveler and use a long tiller extension. Normally one tacks by walking past the back of the traveler, bench to bench or bench to cockpit floor to bench. When single handing, I am playing with the jib sheets and sitting all the way at the front of the cockpit. This works great until you try to tack and the tiller extension gets hosed up with the mainsheet, so here is a very heretical suggestion: Find a new place for the traveler and mainsheet. Maybe all the way forward in the cockpit so it it always in front of you? I guess another option is to pre-cleat the new jib cleat with some leeway and just let the jib go, walk behind the mainsheet per normal and catch up to the jib sheet when you get to the other side.
