In sailing, a soft covering for cables or other obstructions to reduce sail chafe. At points in the rig of a large sailing ship, sails come into contact with the standing rigging; unprotected sails soon develop holes at the points of contact. Baggywrinkle provides a softer wearing surface for the sail.
Thanks, Treeseed!
