Using telltales
The genoa has got too little twist when:
- The genoa luffs first in lower parts of the sail.
- The bottom windward telltale luffs first.
When the traveller is moved forwards:
- The twist in the genoa decreases.
- The depth in the lower part increases.
When the traveller is moved aft:
- The twist in the genoa increases.
- The depth in the lower part decreases.
NB! It is nearly always better to have
sails that twist too much than too little. It
is easier to steer the boat correctly with
much twist (wider groove).
