jjablonowski is on a distinguished road
Lazy--or shorthanded--sailors.
Easier to roller-furl headsail than to reef the main.
Forecast is for stronger winds, so it's prudent hoist main with single reef.
Winds don't get up to forecast strength, so unroll genoa to get most canvas out, without touching main halyard.

My 2 cents.
