My issue is with the inner starboard shroud which appears to have
been stretched. The mast is measured true, chainplates and swages
appear correct but the turnbuckle is tightened completely to the end
of its threads compared to the port side. No evidence of galling or
overtightening on the threads. Perhaps a poor measuring job sometime
in the past?

If it's the only shroud, that's probably the case, though inspect the
upper attachment carefully.

I think I'm going to err on the side of caution and have it all
redone. I like the idea of new sheaves and rope halyards as well.

Sometimes, the comfort of knowing it's right is worth the cost.
