You can prevent mould from forming in the tape by coating the sail.
With some sails, the tape used becomes dark over time. This is due to mould. Dirty water with traces of fungus, algae, etc can get between the layers of the sail cloth through the stitch holes. Over time, the tape will become mouldy and if you are unlucky you will also get mould between the laminate with a laminate sheet.
You can prevent this yourself by coating a sail. By closing the stitching holes in this way.
