What is this on my boat?

[Petar]

Hi,

I found this stuff among spinnaker sheets and spinaker guy ropes for my symmetrical spinnekr. Would anyone know what is this for?

regards/petar

[scottyt]

looks like some kind of rubber snuber. the cable is there to keep connected incase the rubber parts. i wonder if its meant to hold down on the pole, but give some give to it

You could use it as a 'preventer' to keep the boom from jibing when the spin is up. It does not look like a 'twing' setup for either the sheet or guy.

A rubber dog bone on twin leashes?

The person who contructed it will know, probably the PO.

orca harness

C'mon; it's a reverse calaframsis bail with safety line. Sheeesh.

For holding onto when people get lifted (ride the sail) when anchored. Mostly the younger set I believe.

It's a homemade bungee run attachment.
