Telltales on a jib
I like telltales about 18" back from the luff of the sail. If they are too close to the luff, they only tell you what the wind is doing at that point, where the sail is curved the most. If they are positioned a little further aft, they tell you that the laminar flow of air is remaining attached to the sail, on both sides, as it flows aft.
