>If you look at >>2055155, you can definitely see a topping lift/boom lift, see the pully there.
i did notice it but the lack of any vanging or mainsail reefing system(even simple cleats for tying off) makes me think that the "boom" is either decorative or serves some other purpose and the mainsail is actually loose footed instead. maybe it's really used for suspending a sunshade from it, or maybe as a sort of a crane to lift goods onboard like they used to do during the age of sail.
>I assume they're for umbrellas (when anchored/hove to probably) or mounting support poles for shade cloth on.
i'd feel safer about them when they have umbrellas installed since it's harder to impale yourself onto one than on a stubby rigid metal pipe. osha or not common sense just doesn't suggest it as a good idea.
