Dik, The size of the sail depends on the "size" of the wind. What about having a sailmaker put a reef point in your standard jib?

With all this talk of reefing, heaving to, I often find myself in the thick of things wishing I could use a smaller head sail. I have a 150 genoa and a std jib. Does any one have a recomendation for the size of the headsail to use when reefed? I thought a storm headsail was the right way to go but have been told that is terribley small. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks, Dik Lang M-17 #375 Vashon Is. Wa.
