I do this on my tanzer 22 when racing in moderate to heavy wind (say 15-20 kts) .. Run full Genny and a reefed down main.. keeps the speed up but the heeling down going upwind ... I have the scimitar 'short rudder' on my T22, so if i leave the main up the heel pops it out and she rounds up.... But if I drop to a smaller headsail then I am left in the dust by the rest of the pack...
It's a pretty common tactic on the T22, and I'd imagine other small bermuda sloops..
