Lifelines – Place one Chafe Protector in front of
each stanchion to help the foot of the genoa roll
over the lifelines during a tack. Keeps crew off the
foredeck when tacking.
Spreader Tips – Place a Chafe Protector above
each spreader to protect the mainsail and genoa
from chafe on the spreader tips.
