I do this more often than not when not racing. And when racing, a few instances where the wind went 25 - 35 Kts, button up the main and use the Genoa alone. I will leave the genoa slightly cracked off though, because keeping it flat in those conditions is a lot of strain.
It sails great like this.

Â 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. Â Seems to me that the load is minimal in light air and the total load is a lot less under one sail.
