Dennis,
Are those turning blocks on the mast something you added, or do you
think the forward two, at least, were original? Weatherly has none of
those, just deck-mounted stand-up turning blocks - what you have keeps
a large part of the load on the mast, much nicer.

Randy,
Touche', like many older models, had exits with sheaves a couple
inches above the collar. Look at this picture:

Note the metal plate behind the 3rd block. That used to have one of
these:

That all makes good sense. And yes, my 30-1 #7 has sheaves in the
mast just above the cabin top for turning the main and headsail
halyards out (athwartships) to winches on the dorade boxes.
The thing that still confuses me is, on these boats with mast
collar tangs, how do the halyards exit the mast above the cabin
top, if there are no sheaves in the mast and they require turning
blocks on the mast collar?
Cheers,
Randy

I'm no engineer. Just a guess.
The older models were not designed with vertical running rigging
loads at the center of the cabin roof. There were horizontal
loads leading from inside the mast to winches at the base of the mast
Later models had halyard, reefing, etc blocks attached to the
cabin top that lead aft to the cockpit. These loads are vertical.
In my untrained brain I always assumed that was the reason for the
tangs on my 30 MKII and the lack of tangs on my 30 MKI
But again, I'm no engineer
