John, Historically, baggywrinkles are pieces of old rope or fabric attached to shrouds to reduce chafe on sails. Maybe baggywrinkles that fall off the shrouds can absorb water on the deck, but I don't think that's the intended use.

What it the best wick material for this? TIA Jim Hesketh Whisper C&C 26 Miami, FL
