Default Sail trim question ;)

Hey Grasshopper,

How can you tell if you have horizontal or vertical wrinkles , how can
you tell if the top batten is parallel to the boom if you don't look?
How can you tell, or for that matter, why put tell-tales on the sail if
you aren't going to look at them?

When I tack I want my main sail trimer to ease the traveler enough to
get speed back to where it was and then follow me as I work back upwind.
I don't want to direct each move every single time. Not with experience
crew. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
