In sailing I have noticed a fair number of boats that under heavy air fly only the jib as oppossed to a reduced jib and single or double reefed main. On one hand there is the logic that the jib only is accounting for a very poorly balanced rig that will suffer lee helm and can damage the rig with excessive forward stress. On the other end of the story is the logic that if you are reaching with a spinnaker and main you are doing about the same thing by having more sail fore than aft. Thoughts?
