Question: Is it an advantage to have a telltale window in a cruise laminate genoa?

Answer: Hi, In most cases it is not a good idea to put a telltale window in a
cruising genoa. The windows are made out of plastic with no fiber reinforcement
so the window will ultimately stretch more, and in a different way, than the
sailcloth that surrounds it.
