100% Jib?

I've got a roller furled genoa for my boat now but I'm thinking of replacing it with a smaller sail. I don't care about going fast. No interest in racing and where am I gonna go on lake that's only a mile wide and 20 some long? I'm thinking a smaller sail would make pleasure sailing less work for the crew who would really rather look at the scenery than tend the boat.
I'm also contemplating making the jib self-tending with a club foot. I haven't worked out all the details on that yet but I'm thinking.
Any thoughts?
