Any suggestions for where to place the tell-tales on a radial rig? Should they be approximately the same as on a standard rug? (I just purchased a radial sail and lower mast section, but haven't used them yet.)
It doesn't particuarly matter, the airflow changing won't affect where you put them. Make sure you have at least two sets about a foot back from the luff, and a leech tale. I have three leech tales and three sets of two luff tales. when you're doing it, make sure to line the teltales up with the foot, not the luff.
it is actually an old thread but maybe for some of interests. there is a very good articles about fixing the tell-tales: http://www.wb-sails.fi/news/95_11_Tellingtales/Tellingtales.html
each of the tales gives you some additonal information about your correct trim. good look and fast sailing
