We used to use a little jib on our sloop when hove to Bryan.

It did need it because the main, even fully reefed, would bring it too far into the wind. On our yawl, windage forward in the form of rigging, furled genoa, etc. is enough(too much really with the small mizzen) to keep the bow from rounding up.
