All you would need for an aural warning is to make the tell tales out of metal tape, with a metal conductor patch in the sail where they should normally flow, and then when they lift, the alarm would sound...of course you also need to run wires in the sails, bateries, (or solar panels) and a warning horn of some type. OR...just pay your crew to tell you not to pinch!


Mine would be squawking at me all the time. I actually had the good fortune at the last race of the year (last year) to have an experienced crew who would just quietly say "pinching" as soon as he felt the speed drop off. It was a great help and in a short while kept me more attentive to that situation.
