We have a 30 foot masthead sloop. It is an easy boat to sail. The jibs are roller furled. We usually select either a 150% genoa or a 110% jib and use that sail for the day. By choosing the right headsail we usually do not need to try to sail with the headsail furled any. We frequently change the sail on the furler to match the conditions.
Our boat is stiff so the main reefs at 22-25 knots and the second reef is needed at 35 knots. at that point the 110% jib is a liability and is furled up a bit. We have good control. As it starts to deterrioriate or we get gleeful from our speed we reef. It is simple and works for us.
