In the stronger winds there is no reason why the top leeward telltail shouldn't flow, It's well above the jib isn't it so jib sheeting can't effect it, derotating the mast will de-power the rig, and you should go faster in the higher winds, but it shouldnt affect flow.
Is there anything on the mast that may interupt the flow (it might be that the spinnaker halyard is blowing around just in front of this telltail.
It's a newer sail, about 1 year old Hobie Tiger ST. The top telltale is well above the jib and above anything that could be effecting it. Definitely not the halyard or anything else effecting it.
Thanks for the reply. I hope to get it out in some heavy air again to test some.
