What about the main? I followed the instructions that came with my
telltales and placed them about 10" back from luff on lapper, working
jib and main. The ones on the main seem marginally useful there and now
I'm getting the feeling that all they're doing is serving as a moron
flag to tell the other sailors to stay out of my way. I crewed on an
80-mile race a couple of weeks ago and the boat I was on had mylar sails
that seemed to have telltales placed randomly, but mostly along the
leech.
