Note also the lanyard to secure the rowlock. The other end is fastened to rowlock stowage point. The two loops of bungee cord are joined in the middle by a white plastic clip. Only one oar is shown. The other would lie this side of the centreboard case.
Some people sleep on the floorboards, under the thwart.
This arrangment shows boards bolted to the top of the thwart to make a high level bunk of sorts. A crowded foredeck. I will try to make sense of it. The forestay is attached to a white lanyard which runs through the forestay fitting and back to the cockpit. This can be let off when the mast needs to be lowered.
