It's been my experience on several different boats that you are better
off with a double or triple reefed main and no jib. Having a little
bit of main sail up gives you far more control with only minimal risk
of being over powered. On boats with a very large main sail and/or
minimal reef points, a small staysail or storm jib might be the way to
go.
