Many sailors don't understand the relationship between clew positions and how they affect whether you are pulling more on the foot or the leech. Lower allows the top of the jib to twist off and reduce power. Higher puts more of the entire sail to work which is advantageous in light winds. It makes a huge difference. Generally, if you have a fore and aft traveler, you won't have a multi-position clew plate. You typically have one or the other. They both accomplish the same thing. In lighter air you may want the top and bottom telltales to break at the same point, but in heavy air you may want the top telltales to break first, indicating that the top is twisting off and spilling air to reduce power.
