1) Watch for the jib back winding the main. When you see it ease off. Back winding you can't really see hurts. Try adding a tell tail to the main ~ 1/3 of the jib height up and 12-18 inch aft of the mast.
Carl,
You lost me with the tell-tale to detect that you're backwinding the main. I would certainly welcome some sort of tool to indicate this condition but I don't understand how the extra tell-tale can do it.
