Yes, unless your 35 has been modified, the upward loads on the 35-1 are carried by the mast. The halyards exited the mast via a turning sheave and ran horizontal to the deck. The turning blocks in the mast carried the upward loading.
Now, if you or a previous owner modified the running rigging for the halyards to turn using blocks on the collar or deck then you've created upward loading on the deck. When I re-configured Touche's running rigging to run aft to the cockpit, I used Garhauer mast base turning blocks attached to the mast to ensure the deck did not carry any upward loading.
