slyrss3 is on a distinguished road
If you had a jib boom, you could rig that up so you could reef the jib from the cockpit, just like reefing the main. Though it's nice to have lines led aft, it's not necessary. You can heave to and go forward to reef the main or reef/change the headsil at your leisure. It is important to have main sheet & jib sheet winches at hand as said before.
