Pair of V-Fin dihedral towed wings

[Skeeter]

Does anyone know if these items have any use or value on a trawler?
They came with my boat and are connected together with rope, may have been used for anchoring?
They are constructed of fiberglass or carbon fiber.
TIA, Steve

They look like stabilizing fish, meant to be towed off of booms port and starboard which will keep the boat from rolling underway. Do you have such booms on your boat?

I had a set like that, but not having booms, all I could do was to drop them over the port and stbd quarters secured to my big cleats on the GB42. Did not notice much effect.

These were on Journey (Vendredi)Rich, did you ever use them?
