Interesting that apparently only some but not all C&C models have these mast collar tangs. Mine (C&C 30 MK I hull #7, designed 1971-sh built 1972) does not have them. It has a bulkhead about a half-foot forward of the mast that is strongly tabbed to the cabin top, which is presumably the design element intended to prevent upward flexing of the cabin top. I could see how tangs fastened to mast and collar could do the same thing, using the mast as a structural member. I wonder when and under what circumstances C&C chose to use tangs vs. bulkheads.

Boat flexes more than it should. Generally I don't think anything catestrophic would happen...immediately anyway. But flexing the Cabin top is likely not great.
