Chafing

Chafing is damage or wear caused by friction between two surfaces, such as ropes rubbing against a boat’s railing or sails rubbing against a mast. If not addressed, chafing can weaken materials and lead to potential safety hazards. Protective coverings or guards can be used on vulnerable areas to prevent chafing to reduce friction and abrasion.
