My LF38 forestay was just attached to the cast aluminum bow rollers,
which were bolted to a large backing plate glassed into the deck. All
the forestay stress was placed on two tabs of cast aluminum, which
caused me a great deal of worry. I've since replaced it with a SS plate
and rollers, which also wraps down over the bow and is bolted to the hull.
So I'd take a really good look at it. It looks like there is more than
one configuration.

As I recall, the forestay is connected to this piece via a tang but there is
structural attachment to the hull just below it.
