Click thumbnail for a larger image. | Description: A whisker stay from old stock at R.R.Rex & Co. It is for a good sized vessel (such as would be used in the coastal trade). Large ring is for the bowsprit and smaller upper one is for the jib boom; the 2 thin iron rods held out the stays to counteract lateral forces on the jib boom. (Looks as if it was never used and was probably made by one of the local foundries on order from Rex & Co.)
