Anybody know what this is? It's about 24" x 24" canvas material. What you see in the corner is a chain that is sewn into the edges of this. Could it be a flopper stopper? Other ideas?

I was thinking of weather cloths but it is too small for that.
Check around your boat for something similar to the size of the canvas.

Hey John
Based upon the answers you have received so far... I think the answer is ..
no
Covering the hatch over the V-berth? Do the colors match your sail cover? Maybe covering your windlass or grill?
All U Get
Actually, I believe the technical term is "thingamajig", but I cannot really quibble with your fine answer.
It was on the boat when I got it and is the only one on the boat, so I doubt it's a hatch cover. Not the color of the sunbrella on the sails either. I think too small to be a sea anchor or anything like that, plus I doubt it's strong enough. I just did a clean up on the boat and am trying to figure out whether to throw this away.
I did that once with a weird shaped piece of plastic I found in my work truck. Not a week later, I found it was one of the foot inserts for the leg bottoms of an expensive aluminum folding work table. Now with only three of the four feet, I cannot level the table without shims.
Put it in a box labeled Misc., and save it.
Saved my self a bundle recently. I had a weird clamp on my stern rail, and some "unknown" parts in a tub in the cabin on my new boat. Almost removed the clamp and tossed the parts. Last weekend, I was cleaning out under one of the berths, and found a bag containing the rest of the parts to a really nice stern rail mounted outboard motor hoist. Good thing I didn't toss the other parts.
