[quote=Dogboy]I use a telocat on the H18. I find it useful when sailing downwind to pretty quickly gauge my angle relative to 90 degrees apparant. Upwind I rarely use it unless the wind is very light - I typically just go by the lower jib telltails and by feel. I don't use the arms, but I do tape a short length (about 8") of VHS tape to the back of it. This gives it a little more sensetivity in light wind and also makes it a little easier to judge the angle.
Also be sure to drill a small hole in the top of the telocat arm for a cotter pin or split ring. Otherwise the thing can slip out of the bracket in rough weather.
