Now that you mention it, I do remember having them on my Aquarius.
BEST WAY TO SAIL AN AQUARIUS!! For sure tkanzler! The Aquarius was SO wide for a boat only 23 feet long that the shroud tales were really helpful for trimming the main.

Thanks for the tip on the APS shroud tales website! I'm placing my order RIGHT NOW!

Its the website of Forum member u12fly, so I guess it is.

However, on my M, I got rid of that trailing flag and just use the pointer relative to the sail. Otherwise, the rotating mast confuses the picture. The pointer points in the direction of the combined relative wind.
