We sail on the northern Broads.  Our Seahawk came with a Genoa, or extra large jib, but we've hardly used it.  It makes tacking more difficult and it's not much use in light winds as it needs a reasonable breeze to keep it filled.  But I'm sure it would be good for a sea-going boat.  We occasionally use a spinnaker and that works well when the wind is in the right direction....
