That is a fine looking anchorin' arrangement. It looks like a well developed unit similar to one that is on an early Hinterholler's yacht at my club. (Similar size to a 35 mk-1.) I really like the details to stow & pin the anchor shank on the upper support, brilliant.

I think the best guess that the sprit thingy is for a assy is correct. Check out the blue braid , with white tracer. It leads into the centre of the sprit thingy, by the look of it. I agree it does not appear well supported, not much of a socket and 4 little rivets?? I can't see an attachment for any kind of lower stay for the thing.

The boat licence number is indicative of being Canadian, 50L **** or 60L ****. A number & letter followed by a serial number is an old system. I couldn't find any area listings on the Transport Canada site to get an idea of where she might be. (Example: an old Nanaimo number was 13K 1354, my runabout, circa late 70s.)

Don’t recognize the boat, but do recognize the anchor arrangement. It is called an “anchor carrier” and is made by a company in the Toronto area. I first saw it in a string about anchor rollers for our old boats  on this list several years ago, and was going to get one made for my 38. IIRC, the owner of one of the Canadian boats – Tangerine? – was the source for the he supplier. The supplier could never get the proper dimensions to have an anchor carrier constructed for the 38. They were looking for a boat in that area from which they could get measurements and just never gave me a shipping date, so I ended up having a local fabricator make a bow pulpit for me. I think the anchor guides pointed out in the photo are an option for the anchor carrier.

The pole looks like a fold down sprit for an a-sail. An extended mount for the block to carry an a-sail was to be part of my anchor carrier, along with a stainless rod and bracket that would act like a bobstay to carry the loads from the spinnaker. If this is a fold up sprit, it doesn’t look particularly robust. But then we aren’t seeing the entire arrangement and maybe there are provisions for mounting it that we can’t see.

Anyone we know?  What is that pole on the port side?
