Posts: 291 | This past weekend I struggled a little in one of the races because it started to rain and my tell tales stuck to the jib at time when I needed some help becuase the wind was pretty light. Is there a better product than SailKote to help with this?

I have racing yarn on one of my jibs... it also gets wetted down.. and its frays get stuck on the sail when dry... | | | Re: Wet Tell Tales

(i.e. feel the boat and learn to sail without the tells and you're 2 leagues above the rest...they're nice when you have them but if you can still do well without, you just gained a huge advantage).

None of this will work! Ask me how i know!
