If they are placed too close to the mast the air flow is too turbulent. When placed too far back the telltales are less sensitive and this may result in pinching. When the telltales are too high they will be less visible whilst focusing on the water ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimum position is just above and in front of the window: 40cm (15.75\") above the front of the window and 20cm (7.87\") forward of this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimum position for ILCA 6\/Laser Radial sails is 20cm (7.87\") up and 20cm (7.87\") forward of the front of the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to attach telltales to a sail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the sail is completely dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoroughly clean the area where the telltales are to be applied with acetone or isopropyl alcohol (wearing gloves and using the solvent in a well-ventilated area)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm up the area with a hairdryer on a low setting where the telltales are going to be applied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRemove the backing paper, activate the glue with the hair dryer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and place the telltale onto the sail in the correct position applying good pressure\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRub down well to ensure good adhesion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Simon Winkley Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56838728057156,"sku":"503-0060-00060","price":8.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4505\/5044\/files\/RoosterTeflonTellTalesSWM1.webp?v=1781199708","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonwinkley.com\/products\/rooster-teflon-coated-telltales","provider":"Simon Winkley Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
