Take some mesh chafe tubes that are used for lines
In Response To: I think every spreader end chafes sails. ()
You can slide it on, cut it and secure it with some whipping thread.
Or strip some sheathed line and use the jacket the same way
The elk hide isn't as slippery, but it's more durable. The sheathing is the reverse.
