On an M15 most def would do it under main alone. Going to weather an M15 is a dog under main alone but even worse under jib alone.

In general I'd leave the main up and drop the headsail.
Now if I needed couldn't be head to wind so I can depower the main I'd use the jib. This also assumes no upwind work needed to get to the slip.
Again this is on a M17 based upon my long experience with the boat.
If someone that has _never_ sailed a M17 said to use just the headsail I'd take their recommendation with a HUGE amount of sea salt.

Hi folks: For years when I’m coming into the dock under sail, I’ve dropped the jib and come in on the main sail. Now I’m hearing people that you don’t drop the jib. What’s the consensus? Thanks,
