[C320-list] What is this?

[Jeffrey Hare]

Funny this should come up now..  Yesterday when putting on my genoa, I had a
piece of plastic that looks the piece to the left in your photo, that had
slid down the Furling tube in one of the tracks over the winter.  It was
still loosely sitting in the track.  I removed it and figured I'd go look
over the exploded parts list of the roller furling to see where it came
from.

I found some bits of weathered plastic on the foredeck on the first 
visit after my boat was launched this year.  I was not present for the 
launch itself.  A picture can be found at

The color in the photo is distorted a bit.  The pieces are actually 
white.  One piece looks like it broke off the end of a tubular piece.  
The other is flat, but edges are broken in a way that suggests it was 
the end cap of the same tube.

I'm hoping its not from my boat but that is almost certainly wishful 
thinking.  Part of my furling gear maybe?  I have no good way to get aloft.
