Was out sailing today, I have a ribbon tied to the boom about 18" aft from
the gooseneck. Using it as a telltale instead of doing the
coathanger-off-the-yard doo-hickey thing.
Sure is in a convenient place to look at, but was wondering if the airflow
over the sail is distorting it's direction -- what do you guys think?
