Our 34R has runners and checkstays and as Eric said, they are used after backstay is on to firm up the mast, or pull it straight to put more belly in the main. They do a great job for a bendy mast. Feel lucky if you don't have them. They are an extra pain in the ass, you don't need. Our tripple spreader bendy masts need them, because the mast section is smaller and bends more than a conventional two spreader mast section.

I presumed they were for checkstays (possibly for a staysail??), but I've never seen any evidence they were installed.

Are the check stays only used on the windward side with the spinnaker? Was there a ring where the hole is in the car that attached to a control line? How strong does that control l have to be?
