I know that this is in here some where but I tried to search for it and couldn't find it. Does anyone know (duh -I'm sure someone does lol) where to buy these telltails? I hope the picture works, I always get so confused as to how to take the pictures from flickr and put them in here. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/90843132@N00/3285135786/" title="01260 by hobie cat sailor, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/3285135786_2c37931e42.jpg" width="300" height="256" alt="01260" /></a> If the instert didn't work here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/90843132@N00/3285135786/ |

Found them Davis Marine wind-tels part #01260 $25.00 ea. Anyone tried these? They look like they may perform better than the usual strips of sail cloth tied to the shrouds. |

Most 17 sailors use VHS casette tape on the bridles. It's cheap, light, doesn't absorb water, and is super sensitive. Otherwise, a wind vane at the bridle connection (Telo-Cat or other). I don't see many people with any wind indicator on the actual shroud. The shrouds aren't really in your normal line of sight. sm |

I use knitting yarn. Really cheap and the red (or orange) are really visible for those quick glances. ![]() |

I just bought the set for my Wave. They work very well and you can set them on both bridle wires and tweek them to the angle that you need. I bought them at Westmarine, but your local Hobie dealer can order them for you if they do not stock them. |
