You could sail on jib alone if short handed. The boat tacks surprisingly well,
but obviously not as well as it does when balanced.RonWild CheriSTL

funny, we had the same conditions here in Ottawa. This was our first sail this
season. 15-20 with higher gusts and quite choppy (as for our river/lake). I had
1st reef on main and about 1/3 of 135 genoa unfurled. I could steer with two
fingers. My wife did not have any problems, either. Different boat, though. My
experience is that generally, any one (single) sail would always create
imbalance. If the wind gets stronger, I might roll the genoa in a bit further,
but at least I want to keep a handkerchief of the staysail up front. The
problem of course is that you now have two sails and at least three lines to
manage. MarekC270, Legatoin Ottawa
