Purpose of these white plastic cylinders on sidestays?

[upgradingdave 0]

I can't seem to find the right search term in google to figure this out ... does anyone know what these white plastic cylinders attached to the sidestays are called and what purpose they serve?

[Editor 586]

they help the genoa around the shrouds during a tack.

[Crabtown 0]

Shroud rollers

 

[justsomeguy! 578]

Yeah, your photos (or I) have difficulties.

Most likely to minimize chafe and/or friction on your sails.

 

[PaulK 344]

They're not those aerodynamic radar reflectors? Or should people with those radar reflectors use them as shroud rollers instead, since they don't work as radar reflectors?

We used to use golf club tubes

Nowadays I use custom cut lengths of PVC pipe, sized big enough to fit around the biggest turnbuckle & cotter rings.

Noise makers?

An argument for unstayed masts?

Allow the turnbuckles and swages to fail without interruption from timely maintenance.

i think they disagree on some subjects... and one of them used uppers... and the other one downers...

[Sail4beer 2,010]

I think this all started with a disagreement some years back over the verbiage of the white cylinders on the sidestays. 
 

Kevlar said chafe guards and Snags said chalfe gaaärdle or something like that and Petey lost his fucking mind and his edge. 
 

He might even find himself flicked for his shithead explosion on here.

Flicked? I hope not.

This could get epic!

[astro 721]

Has to be a troll, an inside job.

[Sail4beer 2,010]

Not a troll. He’s usually mentally stable and contributes good info....up until now. I know some members here and a few are just dorky, non sailors in real life and I let them be. I could complain about some of the guys I’ve sailed against here and let them know how I could roll them or they are cheating, BUT...this is really a first class shitfight in the gutter with one filthy wet drunk chick rolling in the urine soaked gutter and the other saying, “Come on Karen! Time to go, the bars are all closed. the manager went home. The Uber driver is here, I’ll let you sit up front this time.”

Outing someone by name is one if the 3 things to get flicked over. The other is pedophilia shit and too much scatlological conversation. 
 

Snaggs knows my real name from PMs and would never out others and his socks,(whichever ones they are)never abuse me.

[jack_sparrow 7,463]

A place not to stash water soluble drugs.

[Sail4beer 2,010]

Never thought of that. 
 

I always figured that I would stash my stuff up the mast figuring the Coasties wouldn’t climb the mast for a bag of damp weed.

[ROADKILL666 307]

Need to hide it in the folding bunks tubing 

[SailRacer 84]

Maybe put it in the radar reflector on the D2?

Sail Safe!

[Sail4beer 2,010]

...and fast!

[Steam Flyer 4,773]

??? Is it illegal now?

[some dude 162]

So that was awkward

Kev need anything?  Try drinking some water.  Maybe an aspirin?

[nanna 2]

Those white tube thingies are there to make an emergency bong if the weedtician forgets to bring one.

[Cruisin Loser 1,338]

On a Hinckley those white tube thingys are wood and varnished. I don't know if it's better, but it's classy.

After reading this, I'm pretty sure I never want to meet Kevlar Edge.

He’s done an alleged 25,000 miles ocean racing over the past 40 years. Not many miles, but miles nonetheless.
