I've always called that stuff the running rigging, but as I'm now a mere stink-potter, what do I know.
But, leaving the running gear to free wheel will cause needless wear, albeit at the cost of some drag, and some noise and vibration. I do hope the Wild Cat's running gear was not allowed to free wheel during those long passages.
