Air-Flow Tels for Sail

For those who may not have used tell tales, they are invaluable for trimming a sail and certainly for discerning where and what to trim if you have several pairs at different heights. For those who have used them, they are a good value albeit a little sticker shock. The installation went better than anticipated. Slipping a feather-light streamer through a slot in an adhesive-backed dot seems like a recipe for frustration but it actually isn't bad. I cleaned the previous spots on the sail (dacron) where the old ones were removed with alcohol and then applied these after it dried. A day later I was enjoying 15kts and didn't even think much about their ability to hang on but I did admire the vibrant port and starboard coloring.

Nothin too fancy here. They were easy to install and dont look bad. Better than duct tape and yarn.

Little hard to remove the white circle stick-ons. Found using a sharp knife like a kitchen steak knife to slide into the centre slit and then move outwards did the trick. Seem to be very secure on the sail.

ok

These are solid quality , and a great quantity for the price. I’m able to do my main and jib with the one pack.

These tels cost plenty, so why was the manufacturer such a cheapskate that they had to stuff these in a too-small baggie and bend them all in half when a regular business envelope would have sufficed? Annoying. No sense of style.

Excellent tell-tales for reading the wind. Easy to apply to sail. Durable, and held up well for quite a few years of high wind, salty-air use.

Came right away and is as advertised 😁😁😁

Quality looks good.
