   When sailing lower than a beam reach, the sail is catching wind instead of working like an airfoil. Telltales come in pairs, one on each side of the jib. The best set up is to have three sets evenly spaced along the luff so that you can see how the wind is flowing over all heights of the sail. Telltales should be anywhere from six inches to 18 ...

   Nov 13, 2015 · No indicator has been developed that approaches the sensitivity and effectiveness of telltales along the luff of the jib. These yarns or “ticklers” monitor the flow of wind across the sail.Telltales are used for fine tuning your genoa sheet trim and to fine-tune the course you are steering. Telltales are only an aid when the sail has wind flow across both sides, i.e., when sailing angles ...

   Nov 16, 2023 · Telltales are visual indicators that show how the wind is flowing over the sail. They are usually made of ribbon or yarn, and they are attached to the sail or the shrouds of a sailboat. When the wind flows over the sail, it creates a boundary layer of air that is slowed down and turbulent. The telltales show how this boundary layer of air is ...

   Jun 8, 2017 · Telltales still have a lot to tell you. First, sheeted in hard, the sail should now finally luff evenly from bottom to top. As you head up, the inside telltales at the bottom, middle, and top of the sail should lift at about the same time. If the top inside is lifting well before the bottom, the lead might need to go forward.

   What are Genoa telltales used for?

   • Telltales are used for fine tuning your genoa sheet trim and to fine-tune the course you are steering. Telltales are only an aid when the sail has wind flow across both sides, i.e., when sailing angles between beating and beam reaching. When sailing lower than a beam reach, the sail is catching wind instead of working like an airfoil.

   How do you read a sail Telltale?

   • To read telltales, you need to watch them closely and pay attention to their movement. The key is to look for streaming, flowing movement of the telltales. The telltales should be straight and steady, indicating that the wind is flowing over the sail in a laminar flow.

   Where do you use telltales on a sail?

   • There are other places you can use telltales, off the leech of a non-overlapping headsail (jib), or sometimes in the middle of a mainsail in the upper sections, but these are less critical. For a sail to work, air has to flow down both sides. Telltales tell us about that flow. Without them we are flying blind.

   How do you set a telltale on a sailing Luff?

   • The following are four different “settings” for telltales: When sailing to windward, the degree of course change between “Bow-down Speed-building Mode” and the “Pinching Mode” should be about 5 to 7 degrees. If the telltales go from one extreme to the other after a two-degree course change, put a bit more tension on the luff.
