what did I find?

I was cleaning out a locker on a "new to me" boat and found these two aluminum tubes with odd ends. They are about 3 ft long with cast aluminum ends. One looks like it might attach to a small stay. Anyone know what these are for?

OK, thanks. No idea why they would have been on the boat especially being two different lengths and only one end on each. Into the scrap aluminum pile.
