It's an emergency boom crutch. No wait, it's a tiller extension.

You'll never touch solar, I won't let it happen

Just because we now know what Sabre intended it to be used for, doesn't mean there isn't another use for it! I think sabre adapted an existing part for this use. HHMMMmmmm, what could the ORIGINAL use have been.......

Did Sabreman say something?

Nope... it's a fishing pole... you use it to catch a "fish." Or... it could be a spare whojamadiggit....everyone always forgets about those. Sign of the times i guess.

Isn't it a crew motivator?

How about this?
One end goes in a hole outside of the pushpit and the other is tied to the boom.
It holds the boom outside of the cockpit.

I think you stick one end in the cockpit drain and a table fits on top.

Surely it's a manual depth finder for when your power goes out----

What if it is just a broom stick ?
Al is better then wood (does not break) and a hose protects the varnish from Al.
