Like Shawn's boat mine is also C&C 35 Mk2 (1974), but there is no
indications of deck straps ever being installed. Two years ago I
removed the failed holding tank from its outboard location behind the
outboard mahogany paneling. This required removing most of the head
cabinetry, all of which was unattached to the overhead and only floating
in the overhead's channels. The only item that appears to secure the
deck away from the the toe-rail are the hang tangs that are thru bolted
to the mast. The mast was removed since the boat winters in my side
yard. Also re-tabbed all the forward v-berth structures, since three
quarters of the screws had worked loose due to hull flexing. Yes the
boat creaks when sailing, but after 40 years of sailing her you ignore
that noise (also failing hearing??).

My 35 mk2 apparently had these, but they have been removed. I have not
seen a close up of any boats that still had them, so would be
interested in some photos. I don't see any signs that anything was
done to replace them with any kind if adhesive; the holes are just
filled on the deck. The bulkheads do creak a bit as they move in the
channels in the fiberglass liner, while under sail in a sea, or as
they deck expands and contracts in the morning and evening, but I
don't know if the straps would have made a difference for this. The
space you describe under the deck pad may indicate a problem,
although I can't imagine why this would happen, unless the deck is
cored at that point and has collapsed, but 5/16" is quite a lot.

I have a C&C 36-1. There are stainless strap assemblies bolted
through the main bulkhead port and starboard. These are welded to
stainless pads bolted through the deck. I have removed
the mounting bolts and the holes in the bulkhead are not elongated
yet there is a gap of about 5/16" under the plate on the deck
above. What is this for? I am guessing a deck hold--down, yet the
deck appears to be firmly in contact with the bulkhead below. Has
anyone else seen this? What have you done about it?
