A spreader patch is a fabric reinforcement at a point on a sail where it is likely to rub with the spreader on a mast.

Use and construction

Spreader patches may be placed on a

Dacron, or other material that is compatible with the type of sailcloth being reinforced.[4] When applying such patches, it's important to affix it starting from the inner part of the sail, towards the edge of the sail (leech).[5]
