The tang were devised to anchor the mast collar to the mast to
eliminate the upward flexing of the deck as the halyard loads were
transferred vertically to the collar which, without the mast tangs,
would ultimately result in the surrounding deck to deform flexing
upwards. Not a good thing!
On my old 1984, there is still an original label on the mast that says
to install the mast tangs before the rig is tensioned. I can only
assume C&C put that there for a reason.......one hich I clearly understand.

to align.

are now misaligned and the holes are about 1/4 inch too high to slip
the bolt in (the boat is fully rigged). My friends have different
opinions on this. One says release the rigging and the tangs will
slightly deform the cabin top when we reset the mast. Another days
remake the tangs so the bolts line up with jokes in the mast when it's
fully rigged. Looking for help from you folks.
