M_Boats: Reefing

Hi guys, I recently got my jiffy reefing set up installed for the main. Actually tried it out recently and worked very well. My question is at what wind speed would you consider reefing? We were in gusts from 10 to 15 mph according to the NOAA prediction. Might have had some at greater speeds. It seemed like a great opportunity to try out the system and the boat sailed great, still had the jib up. Anyone have a system for dropping the jib from the cockpit as a single hander needs to do, and keep the jib on the boat at the same time? Time for a cool change! Sandra(Seawitch #617)
