I had a “stick on” sacrificial cover attached to my 150 years ago. I was rounding Bloody Point on the Chesapeake in fairly strong winds when the cover got attached to the shrouds instead of the sail. Not a lot of fun as we could only adjust our heading so much, we’re running out of “runway”, and the sail was basically glued to the shroud. I will NEVER use a glue on item like that unless it is also sewn on as well.

On the other hand, isn't there some kind of a white sticky material you can buy and just put it on yourself? It sticks like the numbers or graphics. I'm pretty sure I had that on one of my leeches.

I figured 5 or 6 boat bucks maybe. Well I figured wrong, the estimate came back at $1350! Yikes! Are they nuts or is this the going rate now? That seems like a pretty good chunk of an entire sail!
