I was wondering if anyone had advice about adding telltales to my sail. Do I need them? what types of wind indicators do you all use? I never had them on my Butterfly, but know about using them from racing larger boats. Right now I just have some bright orange strips of light fabric loosely looped onto my stays, I just push them up to where I need them.
Another topic to consider, one of my next things I want to add to the boat are some type of plastic tubes to slide over the stays and their hardware. I remember seeing a thread about some shower curtain hangers or something, anyone have any other suggestions about material that would be good for this, I was considering something like flexible tubing because I take the mast down without taking the side stays off. I thought that a clear flexible tube would be good/forgiving for the movement. Any thoughts?
