READING MAINSAIL TELLTALES

"Some old salts refer to telltales as training wheels, preferring
instead to watch the luffs of their sails as a guide to trimming sails
and steering the boat. Yet telltales provide a far more accurate
indication of optimum sail trim and course to steer than do the sails
themselves."


We regularly pass those "old salts" as I study our full suite of
telltails.
