As the sail is loose footed you can set it at around 1 in 10 camber when sailing without the jib. When sailing with the jib you will probably find you need to tighten the outhaul to bring the foot camber down a bit to prevent “backwinding” from the jib.

The mainsail is particularly well suited for this type of dual use.

Mast unstayed except when jib is used
