You remember that tufting experiment on Ilvy last summer? Those telltales, spread all over the sail, definitely helped a lot - though I could only see the lee side telltales of the sun was on the right side. Sewing in some telltale windows would help here, but then we are talking about some fancy-schmancy regatta stuff :-D

You don't need to sow the telltale windows. It would be easy to glue them with some appropriate glue. The efforts in the material is very small.
I used some 25mm wide 3M 927 glue film to assemble Mingming's wing rear part. I used Tyvex and it's not a material that is known for it's gluable performance.
I tested with a 10 cm join and it hold 60 kg before it broke. It was not the glue that failed but the surface of the Tyvex.
