1. Chafing

   Chafing when used as a nautical term describes the process of wear on a line or sail caused by constant rubbing against a hard, usually metallic, surface. Various methods are used to prevent chafing. Chafing of lines that rest on a choke on a boat can be prevented by putting a protecting material around the line. Chafing of a sail rubbing against a cable can be prevented on large ships by tying around the cable.
