I fear I understand the regression. Until last Tuesday, I was certain I was becoming worse with every race.

Now, I see a faint glimmer of hope that I won't be 29th in a 28-boat fleet.

Also, make sure to place them so that the nylon or strong is coming out the aft end of the sticker that holds it to the sail so that the tell-tale flows better.? Place each tell-tale in the middle of a panel of the sail so that it doesn't stick to the seams of a sail (specially the case with a yarn tell-tale) and finally, I like placing them in panels 2(lower half), 4 and 5 (in the middle) if you're counting from the top of the sail.
