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.

Hi Glen I believe on C&C 30-1 the halyards are run at the mast not at the cockpit in factory configuration. Therefore no pulling upward on deck by halyard tensioning at mast collar Just my guess for whatever that is worth Mike Hoyt From: CnC-List <cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com> On Behalf Of Glen Eddie via CnC-List Sent: August 12, 2020 9:49 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Glen Eddie <ged...@torkinmanes.com> Subject: Re: Stus-List 1979 C&C 34: why hangers on thru-deck mast fitting? I don’t have any hangers on my C&C 35 Mk I. Is there a reason why? Thanks in advance.
