I also been using jib/genoa only for leisurely sail, especially if I have
guests who are not sailors. Also did it in winds causing small craft warning
when single handling. (Even surfed the boat regularly). No issues with the
rig.
If you do the 'math' the extra load on the backstay is small.

#yiv0687702606 I can’t speak for all boats, but
I have been doing this since the 1980s and the rig is still

Subject: Stus-List sailing under jib
alone All, Earlier this week I went out
for a lazy sail after work. Unfurled the jib in 10 knots
of wind and decided I was too lazy to remove the main cover
and hoist the main. I've read that sailing
under only jib is bad because it places an uneven load on
the rigging. Seems to me that the load is minimal in light
air and the total load is a lot less under one
sail.
Thoughts? Joel35/3Annapolis
