Hobie Cat Sail Telltales - Black Set of 10

Description

Install these telltales on your main and jib to show the air flow across the sails, allowing you to trim the sails for maximum performance. The included black self-adhesive discs are 1 3/8 inches diameter, made from Insignia cloth, and have a slit in the center to secure the telltale to the sail. Telltales are 1/2 inch wide by 10 inches long and made from 0.75 oz ripstop nylon. The set of 10 telltales is enough to put 3 on each side of the main, and 2 on each side of the jib. These black telltales will provide maximum contrast against white or light colored sails.
Using the telltales for sail trimming is simple... sail trim is correct when the telltales on both sides of sail stream aft. The windward telltale will stream upward when the sail needs trimming or if you are pointing too high. The leeward telltale will stream upward when the sail needs easing or if you are sailing too low. If the telltales are fluttering downward (typically in light air), the sail needs easing.
