Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
There have been a couple of threads here on "dimples" on the topsides of the earlier models, in particular the 32's. My 35-1 had dimples at the braces for the upper shrouds. It also had a slight pattern of roving showing also. I sanded these blemishes out when I had the topsides repainted. I've never tried to correlate them to hydraulic backstays. I always attributed it to "post cure shrinkage". Whether that's actually a thing or not, I don't know but it sounds good. -- Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
To your point about hydraulic backstay adjusters - when last boat shopping I learned to sight along the topsides and look for hull buckling in the area of the shrouds - some was quite pronounced. This was an issue with several late ‘60s/early 70s boats I looked at, and there seemed to be a strong correlation with the use of the hydraulic adjuster. I would also expect these boats did not have the mast/deck hooks being discussed. You mention deck tabbing also - on my 33-2 hull #61, (mar ‘85) the hanging locker bulkheads were not tanned to the deck, however sometime after that, it seems to have been done at the factory. I tabbed mine and the boat is noticeably quieter and the deck stiffer.Same generation and similar build to the 35-3. For anyone interested: https://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2019/07/bulkheaddeck-reinforcement-at-hanging.html?m=1 On the mast hooks - what was not mentioned is that the alignment of the mast holes and final resting point of the hooks can be fine-tuned by elevating the mast with the addition of shims in the mast step.

My 30-1 is a '73 with lower numbers than Gary's and the halyards run from a turning block in the mast directly to the winches. I have no tangs in the mast, nor do I have any holes where they might have been attached. I don't believe my boat came with the tangs originally for this reason.

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
Bill has it right . . . . . The shrouds and mast compression are the worry . . . On serious race boats (without a bulkhead at the mast) we had a vertical rod beside the mast and even a diagonal strut from the mast step to the shrouds to counteract the load. I can’t remember the original 35 in this regard, but we didn’t have big hydraulic backstays back then either . . . . . so I worry about the 35 . . . . On the other hand, it has survived this long . . . . so . . . . . After the new 35 (Mk III) we tabbed the bulkheads to the deck – which does the job, but before that boat production, the deck just floated above the bulkheads . . . .

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
I think some are missing the point that Rob made the other day, the halyards pulling on the deck are secondary to the Oil-canning effect of the shrouds pulling the sides of the boat inward, forcing the deck up at the mast. That is the primary purpose of those hangers. I removed them on my 39 because they were a little annoying, and replaced them with a rod and turnbuckle right through the front of the mast collar and tapped into the keel bolt directly below. I had seen this in later model boats, and it can just be left in place when the mast is removed.

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
Yes, unless your 35 has been modified, the upward loads on the 35-1 are carried by the mast. The halyards exited the mast via a turning sheave and ran horizontal to the deck. The turning blocks in the mast carried the upward loading. Now, if you or a previous owner modified the running rigging for the halyards to turn using blocks on the collar or deck then you've created upward loading on the deck. When I re-configured Touche's running rigging to run aft to the cockpit, I used Garhauer mast base turning blocks attached to the mast to ensure the deck did not carry any upward loading.

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
My 36 XL came with a baby-stay and an adjustable track on the foredeck. It also had the rod connection to the hull or mast--forgot which since it has now been removed (when I removed the track) since it was a PITA for tacks with a large genoa. However, even with the track, as you pump up the back-stay tension, the baby stay/track is in tension trying to pull the track/mast up/back. Thus if the baby stay is used to provide mast bend/mainsail shape, I think you should keep the rod attached. OTOH, I am not a naval architect and I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn last night!

Re: Stus-List 1979 C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting?
Yes, absolutely, they should have a bolt passing through them and through the mast. One long bolt is fine, washers and a self locking nut work well, the bolt doesn't have to be tight, just not loose. If you find the strap holes are a bit too high to get the bolt through them and the mast try releasing the tension on ALL your halyards and the holes should line up. The halyards and other lines coming down the mast turn in blocks attached to the mast collar casting (partners) to run back to your line stoppers and winches. This creates an upward force on the deck at the mast collar, trying to lift the deck up. The resulting load on the mast collar and deck is transferred back to the mast by these straps. The other rod is probably attached to the baby stay track (assuming you have a baby stay. It should be just snug, or perhaps have just a slight bit of tension when the baby stay is slack. Ken H.
