Need help recognizing items on my boat

[zinahewitt]

Hi All,

Hope your day is going well.
I've figured out most of my boat.
I have a Dufour 34 from 1975.

Just need some help with these.
What is 1404 ? Looks like it was added and did not come with the boat in 1975.
EDIT: Alright, this is an Anchor holder.


What is 1405 for ? between the ladder and the stern pulpit there is a metal circle you can put something in ?
EDIT: This is the flag holder.


EDIT: Thank you for the answers

Your Dufour 34 is a mast head rig.

that first photo is of the back stay tensioner.
Study how to trim your sails using the adjustable back stay tensioner. The simple approach tightening to sail up wind, ease it when sailing down wind. Not too much or you’ll put the rig under too much tension and strain the boat. Watch the forestay. When you tighten the back stay it pulls the forestay taut. And vise a versa.

1404 backstay tensioner to bend the mast allowing for increase upward pointing
1405 of which I am not completely certain but I would bet it would be a BBQ mount

The second picture is an anchor mount for Danforth type anchors

1404 is a cleat for a Danforth style anchor. The wedge slides into it. One caveat, it seems to be placed low on the stanchion. This style of anchor holder has the shaft pointing down, not sure if there is room for the shaft.

In 1405 if you are referring to the metal disk the arrow is pointing towards, it is likely an access point for the emergency tiller. Try unscrewing the plug to see what's below it. If you see the top of the rudder shaft, it is for the emergency tiller.

@dlochner Is correct about 1404. I have one on my boat. Here’s a photograph with the anchor in place.

On 1405, if you meant the thing I circled in red….yes, it is a flag folder.
