Identify odd bits

[zoidberg]

A friend far, far away has been rooting around inside a new-to-him First 24SE and has asked if I can identify the purpose of the pair of rods shown in the pic:

Any well-informed guesses?

 

[Boathook]

I can't get enough detail from the picture but are they portable anodes ? Not sure why a GRP would have them ...

 

[Fr J Hackett]

Ninja thingies for twirling around?

 

[Poignard]

What are they made of?

 

[Fr J Hackett]

What are they made of?

Wood usually

 

[zoidberg]

What are they made of?

Dunno. I've seen just the photo....

"What about the bottom left drumsticks -? seem to be made of a resin / fiberglass type material the long thin one on its own is in the manual as the batten stuffer."

?

They appear to be the same 'thing' as the 'thing' directly under them, but I guess not since that has been identified?

Any well-informed guesses?

That requirement is cramping forumites' style a bit, isn't it?

Where's the fun in that?

 

[flaming]

They definitely look like something to do with battens. The First 24se has a square top main right? Are they something to do with the headboard?

 

[Biggles Wader]

They are detonators. They will go off when you least expect it.

Clown! Do you think I given my age, would know what a Ninja stick is?

Is it something to eat, perhaps? Like bread sticks or chicken drumsticks.

 

[Poignard]

Dunno. I've seen just the photo....

That won't do. We need to know material, exact size, any distinguishing marks, signs of wear, etc.

Even then we probably won't know but it will be something to occupy our minds for a while.

Just to help you out They aren't actually called Ninja sticks they are called something else but it doesn't matter.

Look like locking pins of some sort.

I'm not sure I want to be watching videos recommended by some unknown bloke on the internet.

Puzzled, I've been rooting about for an answer to 'what is it?'

It's not the top batten, which is longer - as in this pic:

Delving around in a couple of First 24 'sales and spares' sites, I found this, which may well solve the puzzle:

The item is described in German as a 'Kiel Pin'. I note the section of cord just visible, and reckon that's a likely answer.
So my best guess is that they are spare Keel Pins, possibly sacrificial.

Does that mean pivot for the lifting keel? Wouldn't it need bolts and it doesn't look strong enough. Failing that, what is a keel pin in this context?

I'd suggest it's a locking pin, not the pivot pin?

Of course, thanks. Got to be that.
