you can certainly leave the jib off of your Prindle. However, the boat will be pretty unbalanced and will have a lot of weather helm. You will also find that tacking is much more difficult without the jib.



I single hand my Nacra 5.2 with dagger boards all the time. It's not that big of a deal. When you tack, just work the rudders and the jib sheet - once the jib is set then work with the main. It's really not that tough.
