Main out a bit for light air

I agree with the previous posts but would add that dropping the traveler a bit can open the slot and thereby increase flow over the sails giving you a bit more power. Anything you can do in very light air to increase flow can help including sometimes flattening the sails to keep air flow attached to the sail.
