I've also heard that sailing with just the jib is bad but I'm not sure I
buy it. When you sail with the main and jib you are not removing the
point load from the jib, but adding the distributed load from the main
as well.
By the way, what has surprised me is how well the 35-1 balances with
just the jib (No. 2). In flat water, 10-12 kts breeze, I can let go of
the wheel and the boat sails herself for 5 min or more. Maybe my rig is
out of balance?

All,
Earlier this week I went out for a lazy sail after work. Unfurled the
jib in 10 knots of wind and decided I was too lazy to remove the main
cover and hoist the main.
I've read that sailing under only jib is bad because it places an
uneven load on the rigging. Seems to me that the load is minimal in
light air and the total load is a lot less under one sail.
Thoughts?
