The clue is in the text


DECK EQUIPMENT

Cockpit dodgers
Large deck rope reels with heavy duty warps for fjord mooring.
Atlantic capstan windlass with chain locker and separate forward sail locker.
Approx 300 ft anchor chain.
75ln plough, spade model and two folding pattern anchors.

Various warps and fenders.​
 
I think they're reels holding long mooring lines. I guess they'd be used for mooring to the shore in fijords and the like where it's too deep / restricted to anchor.

Warp drums. They hold long lengths of warp and make deployment easier e.g. tow line, anchor warp, drogue / sea anchor line.

Oops, hanging in reply mode for too long! I have committed a Lakesailor I believe.
 
I drive past this boat a couple of times a week and must say it looks the business for a bluewater cruiser. Don't recollect it having moved for the last 3years though. Might even need a dredger to get it out of its mooring :D edit aaahh swing keel.

Edit, just noticed in one pic.....it's got a BATH!!! amazing :)
