Pretty much with the J/160...but is different
In Response To: The J/42 sails very well under main alone ()
Because the apparent wind moves forward faster, so the pointing angle for optimum speed can actually be greater than a slower boat which wouldn't move the apparent wind closer.
The surprising thing to me is how well the boat sails with just the 100% jib.
