Thanks, Tom and Jane, that's a very comprehensive answer, and confirms my suspicion that there are no silver bullets. Reefing the headsail seems like a workable (and probably economical) approach, but roller reefing sure sounds attractive if the budget will stand it. Switching the jib sheet attachment is a lot easier than actually switching sails. I don't think my jib has reefing cringles, so I guess I'd have to put them in.
Is there any way to "jiffy reef" a headsail?
