I can drop a main if I need too also. But if it was blowing so hard that I needed to get the main down, then there is a good chance that I wouldn't want a jib up.

Why would you not want your jib if you drop your main in heavy air – how are you going to sail? This is almost rule # 1 when heavy weather hits and you have no reef points. AAMOF this is a drill that I had practiced a few times when I started to venture out single handed, and my Prindle sailed very well.
