How do you tack a boat, with a 150% genoa? The answer is very slowly. I have used them for years with no apparent adverse results on the other hand the chaffing on the sheets is very evident. There is a school of thought that claims these wire covers promote and hide corrosion. You can cover the forward shrouds with plastic wire covers to help the sheets and sail slide better. Look at a mast rig vessel with a large Genoa and you will see chaffed jib sheats as they are the first and last to slide over the forward shrouds.
