Mnemonic

You want to know what these contraptions are for, so you ask. The drunkard says, "These are kayak (かい) contraptions *urp* they're for your uh *blarp* kayak... things."

Hints

"Kayak contraptions" is pretty vague, but you do have a kayak, so you're tempted anyway. If only you could figure out what each contraption did so you could justify buying some.
