I put a black spiral wound plastic strips around the bottom three or four feet of my stays (about 3/8" diameter), and they help keep my175 genoa from hanging up when tacking. The issue may become less of a problem in the near future (I'm changing to a 135 genoa soon), but still... inquiring minds want to know!
