Mast and masthead with two deadeyes, forestay, backstay. The slack line hanging to the right of the mast could be a halyard (compare with L23). It is seemingly looped through the mast cap. To the left of the mast, another line running more or less parallel to the forestay is probably a lift. The sail and yard are stowed, similar to A91.
