Looks like a nice day...

I don't like the look of the jib. It looks like the fairlead is too far
inboard and is distorting the clew. What were the telltales doing?

It was, as you say.

The cabin top pulleys were intended for a 100% working jib.
This one is a bit oversized.

Not perfectly set, but too nice of a day to complain about it.

Sure.... been there, done that. I've found that on at least a couple of
times.. where the self-tacking jib track just didn't extend out far enough.
