I think we may want to wait for what Antoine (?) has to say (he did it already).
But from talking to people who crossed the ocean solo (or very short handed, e.g. two people), the biggest issue is that you have to be on the lookout all the time, especially at night. I heard endless stories about close encounters with big ships, where it appeared, nobody was on the bridge. Most of them agreed that this was the biggest challenge (not sleeping for 2 weeks). Others were simple in comparison. Another thing, if I remember correctly, is that the rigging will take serious beating, so you better know what is holding your mast, keel and rudder.
