This is pretty much a universal rule of thumb. Reduce sail area when you loose helm, rail starts going in the water, or the wife starts screaming. Add sail area until one of the above occurs.
In actuality "reef early and often" is a better rule. Additionally, any more than ~20° of heel is when you should start working to flatten the boat.
