I replaced the rod rigging shrouds on my 1978 34. As I recall, for that vintage Navtec there is a piece of threaded pipe that goes through the mast and connects to the shrouds on each side. There are stainless screw caps that screw onto the pipe on both sides to hold the shrouds in place. Once you unscrew the cap, the shroud can be removed. However, I also remember that the angle of the shroud to the mast had to be correct – like 90 degrees. It is easy to do with the mast on the ground. If the mast is stepped, this may pose a problem.
Of course, different vintages of hardware may have different methods of disassembly.

I want to replace it but I don't know how to remove it from the rod rigging. Am I able to replace it without or is there a trick to disconnecting the shroud at the mast? Thanks Adam Hayden.
