TL:DR we used just the main for the first 2/3rds of the trip. It went well. Left with 1 reef in the main. It was a bit uncomfortable onboard beating into short period waves and we didn’t want to go any faster. The jib would have overpowered us and I hadn’t set up the staysail yet so after a bit of head scratching I just said “why don’t we just leave it like this…???” Couldn’t point as high but we were doing 7-9 until the sea state settled and we unfurled the Genoa. The helm felt weird - like it was difficult to pull to leeward at times which was good to learn and see how it responded under those conditions.
