I use an old 0.5oz in a sock for cruising, with the reasoning being that I wouldn't want to fly a spinnaker in stronger winds while cruising anyway. It turns out I do... This year I have had it up in 15-20 true, but only close to downwind, and only because it's old anyway. I would take it down much earlier than that for any reaching.
