That is the attachment point for the rod extension of the babystay, inside.
There maybe something above it for the deck attachment point. Mine has the
babystay and if you are interested I can take pictures.

What exactly is mast pumping?
The early 32's seemed to not come with baby stays but I believe the later ones
did. I've also read that the 32 is "prone to mast pumping" but I don't know
what that means :)
I have an idea, but I don't really know. Mine is an early one with no baby
stay. However, there is a funny little attachment point (female, threaded,
~1/2") on the floor inside the vee birth that I have no idea what it's for,
maybe related, maybe not.
Thanks,
Steve
