Hi David, My boat has both runners and checkstays but I have a bendy rig on a C&C 34R. Not sure my experience applies to your boat.
Saildata shows the 35 MkIII without runners. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cc-35-3 Do you possibly have an inner headstay, (Solent) and the running backstays are meant to support that?
