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.

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

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. Ron

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

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

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
