Hi,

Thos lines are called "Snubbing LInes" and are used to prevent the contact between the stem or in the case of Kogo the Bulbous Bow which is just visible in that picture. The Chain rubbing over either the stem or bulb as the boat swings/sails around will cause damage to the paint/filler/both and cause noise.
