Most long-distance bluewater cruising sailboats will have telltales on their sails as well. If you're trying to cover long distances in light winds, it is generally a good idea to have the most efficient sail trim as possible.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
