Does anyone know how to make baggywrinkle? Mine is
completely worn out. I used strips of heavy shag carpet
originally. It actually looked OK, but over the years
it has deteriorated to the point where there is nothing
left. This time I’d like to be a little more authentic.
If anyone could supply some instructions, it would be
most welcome.
Thanks

Yes, it's very simple to do but difficult to describe in words. Get a copy of Smith's "The Marlinspike Sailor" at Amazon and in there (among 2 dozen other wonderful and indispensable things) you'll find how to make baggywrinkle out of old rope or any other heavy twine you have. I could try to write down how to do it but it would take a long, long paragraph. One photograph will tell you instantly.

OK, thanks. I’ll see if I can track down a copy of this book
somewhere.

Hervey Garrett Smith is the author...Amazon and lots of other book suppliers carry it.

Instructions are also in volume 2 of Ferenc Mate’s book The Finely Fitted
Yacht.
I have the book & can image the pages on Friday and then send them to you
and/or post them to the group if others are also interested.

Mark: Hi!
Eric Hiscock has instructions (two paragraphs of
description plus five photos showing how it’s done) on
making baggywrinkle in his Cruising Under Sail. See
page 144.
I use polyethelene foam pipe insulation. Comes in
black and beige colour (although the beige is hard to
find; your local Ace Hardware or Home Depot likely has
the black). Riggers tape works fine attaching it to
the shrouds.
