I am always cruising with my wife and I want to keep her sailing with me. To ensure she is enjoying the sail I reef early. Plus the boat is more comfortable with only a small heel. I usually reef the main first and will go to the second reef early then start rolling in the jib. I have a 100% jib.

If you are single short or short handing and not racing, you can also heave to and reef.

Hello! I’m Jim Morse and I’m new to this group. I sail Tinkertoy, a 34+ with her original WK.
I don’t have much to add to this conversation, but thought I’d at least comment.
Like Jack, my first week with a 34+ was filled with lots of wind. In the first 4 days, small craft advisories never lifted, but I was out anyways, on my way home. End of season, yes I had a small headsail up, a 105 on Tinkertoy. Someone will lecture me on going out in a SC but the 2 worst days were ones with no SC up.
What I discovered is with a small headsail up, the main is nearly always the first thing to reef. Upwind or down. In winds 20-ish true, the boat moves and handles way better with a second reef and full jib than with a single reef and a reefed jib.
It was similar at 15 knots; the boat wanted a single reef main rather than a partially furled headsail. She’s quicker to turn, and a bit faster.
Of course, with limited crew, and times when things changed rapidly, sometimes we had to do what was easiest, and not what the boat wanted (of course it’s easier to furl a head sail than reef the main, and a ton more easy to do that than shake out the first reef and go to the second, and there is a story here for another time).
What I have no sense of, is if I’m flying a 155 and full main, and the wind is coming up, what the boat wants first.
I am stepping up from a C&C 30 mkii, and on that boat, you are way better off flying a full 155 with a reefed main. Both upwind and down. Beyond that, and it’s usually a smaller head sail (unless DW) and then the second reef.
My main sailing area is Lake Erie. Summer means generally 5-10 here so I’ll be using that 155.
And thank you for this community!
Jim Morse

Up until two years ago, my go-to Sail was a 150. If the wind comes up above 15 knots you have an excellent chance of rounding up or some may say broaching. Once the 150 takes charge, the only way I have found to get it in is to get your furling line around a winch and time releasing the loaded winch while grinding on the winch that has your furling line ready to go.

After reliving that experience while writing about it, I think a few details should be added. We left the marina in 10 knots of wind and by the time we shook out the sails, the wind was gusting 17 to 21 knots. Having sailed with my two crew for over 25 years in multiple Oceans, none of us considered we were being Stupid.

"get your furling line around a winch"
Extremely bad idea. You should never put a furling line on a winch. Why? If there's anything blocking / keeping the head from swiveling you end-up with twisted / destroyed foils. A $3,500 + problem on our boats.Just point the boat into the wind and furl. If racing, trade pointing for speed and furl on the next tack.-Francois
