Yup.
During the earlier part of hurricane Charlie trying to escape upwind, we had a 
triple reef in the main and the #3 up. The boat balanced pretty well that way.

I remember sailing a 35-2 in heavy air with jib and main and had to have more 
than 6deg of rudder angle to keep it going.  Seemed like we needed to take a 
tuck in the main and use a larger jib for better balance.
The old rule was "keep the power up front."

The MK I C&C 35 at least is going no place with a working jib in light air - 
the boat is very headsail dependent. So much so we never used the first reef in 
the main offshore - if you need to reef at all, you need the 2nd or 3rd ;)
I wish the jib was enough, I could just use that and save some cash. So given 
that, I can't see going as small as 100, no matter how easy it is to handle. So 
far I am thinking maybe 125? I used to have a 145 mylar laminate furling jib 
with a foam luff. When it was good, it was very good. When the sail started to 
delaminate and get mold in the middle of it......not so much.
