Lot’s of windage. Okay on a traditional boat though. Check out Hervey Garrett Smith’s The Marlinspike Sailor.

Eric Hiscock''s "Cruising Under Sail" Gives instructions for making baggy wrinkle and also has some photos of the process. It looks pretty simple but I have never tried it.

Baggywinkles look like a big bottle brush. They are made of manila line and attached to shrouds to keep the sail from chaffing on the shroud.

Now you know!
