This anti-chafe tape protects paintwork and gelcoat from wear caused by sheets, lines and ropes. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as on masts and spreaders, guard rails, under the boom and around pad eyes, blocks and deck hardware.
The high performance tape is supplied with a throw-away blue backing sheet that is ideal to cut to shape and install on surfaces that may be damaged by rope burns. Anti-chafe tape can also be applied in areas that come into contact with sails, easing passage on a tack or gybe and reducing wear and damage by reducing friction. This reduction in friction allows sails and ropes to run smoothly over the surface. As it's clear, the tape is a discreet way to protect against friction rubs.
