Head of Sail Boltrope Fraying

The boltrope at the head of the sail tends to fray. This makes it hard to feed into the track.

You can cover the frayed bit with sail tape (other tapes will peel out easily).

Once it is too damaged, you can cut the bad part out. The cleaner the cut, the longer it will last.

Below is a picture of the trimmed boltrope at the head of the sail.
