Structural flexing? (was Last chance to save me....)

flexing...
Thanks for the advice. How do I look for that? Like sail with only the
mainsail to twisty the boat, and look where?
This boat hasn't been sailed for a while, I think. How do I make sure
the stays are close to right? Should I worry about that? It's
deckstepped with a compression post.
