The babystay serves two purposes. In rough seas, it keeps the mast from pumping. Because of the "tree trunk" mast, it allows you to bend the mast in heavy air. Some of the 35's have a padeye with a babystay and pelican hook attachment. Others (like mine) have a track so you can adjust the babystay. This is especially important when racing. For instance, in light air, when going downwind and when doing dip pole gybes, you want to release the babystay all the way
