How does she sail in a blow if you scandalize the rig, just yanking the sprit out and letting the upper and outer triangle just flap?
If you do make a reef, arc the reef points in a very shallow inverted U so's you don't have a big loose floppydoodle along the reefed foot.

Thanks Ian.
I haven't yet tried scandalizing the rig. I'll give that a run sometime in the next few weeks, if only just for practice.
