Clearing out everything and having a good clean/paint inside lockers.

Sadler 29/sail yacht. Any ideas what this is used for?

Thanks!

Either that .... or an attachment for the original Kenwood Chef circa 1960.

+1 - but not just the hooks, also the pin that holds the boom on.

Presumably the boat has been converted to single- or twin-line reefing and the pin at the gooseneck replaced with a bolt.
