To launch a trailer yacht is quite easy and can be done by one man. Just follow the sequence shown here. For recovery, simply reverse the process. There is a 10:1 mechanical winch on the trailer, if required.

Sailing under jib and main
Normally when sailing alone, I do not bother with raising the spinnaker, unless I were on Lake Tarawera or Taupo where there are great distances to cover under light wind conditions. I use a light wooden pole for hiking the clew to opposite side of the main.
Going to hot water beach on Tarawera, under spinnaker, in light winds. The boat is sailing down wind and is flat with hardly any heeling.
