Ken explained it well. FYI, I had the same straps on my 1978 34.

Hi Wonder if I have the mast set-up correctly. There are two staniless steel straps hanging down port & starboard of the mast. They are bolted to the thru-deck fitting, are about 10 inches long and a bolt hole in the bottom end almost aligns with holes in the mast. Purpose and should the hangers be bolted to the mast? Also there's stainless steel rod nth a turnbuckle on the bottom end (in the v-berth cabin) that connects the deck to the keel. Purpose and how to tune? Thx David https://krazysailing.wordpress.com/
