Curtis,
I still have the original instruction manual for my C&C 30-1 (1973), and there 
is no such thing in the manual.
These sail reduction pattern were popular in the era of hank-on sails, when 
boats were carrying more than half a dozen sails to cover various wind 
conditions.
I guess such a sail reduction pattern could be constructed based on collective 
experience, taking into account the fact that most boats today carry roller 
furling sails.

Here is my own reduction pattern followed on the ocean with the following sail 
inventory: main with three reefs, reinforced furling genoa 135%, working jib 
65% permanently hanked-on on removable inner forestay, 20% storm jib stored in 
a bag secured on deck for easy access and, spinnaker. I also had in store a 
110% hank-on genoa which was never used but could have been if anything 
happened to the genoa.

Upwind
Up to Force 4 (16 knots true), full main and full genoa. Getting closer to 16 
knots, the genoa may get a few turns to the first dot (115%)
Up to Force 5 (22 knots true), Main one reef and genoa rolled to second dot 
(100%)
Up to force 6 (26 knots true  on average, meaning that occasional gusts near 26 
knots): Main two reefs and working jib 65%, much more efficient than rolled 
genoa.
Continuous wind 25 knots and above up to 35 knots, Main three reefs on lower 
end of spectrum, and Jib, Jib only in the upper range
Above 35 knots, up to 40 knots and above in gusts, main three reefs and storm 
jib
Above 45 knots, forget the idea of going upwind.

Downwind
Up to Force 4 (Main and spinnaker)
Force 5 main and full genoa
Force 6 (Main one reef and genoa getting partially rolled 120%)
Force 7 (Main two reefs and genoa rolled 110%)
Force 8 No main, and genoa less than 100%
Force 9 Genoa about 40%
Above storm jib for a while. Never did that, thankfully.

If I had to change anything in the setting, I would like very much a 100% blade 
jib with two reefs instead of the 65% working jib. Upwind, the genoa would get 
rolled after force 4 to raise the blade, heavier weather can be fun when you 
have the right sails for it.
