Rigging. I hesitate to post, expecting flak from the usual. But...

As a general rule when you press with a few pounds of force (a
comfortable firm push, say with your thumb) the fore, aft and uppers
should deflect 3/4" to 1-1/2". The lowers should deflect 1/2" to 1".
Use the higher side for a taller mast, say over 50'.

Measure with a halyard side to side and adjust the uppers to get the
mast straight. If you have to adjust, be sure to loosen all the lowers
first. Adjust the lowers last and be sure to sight along the mast to
check for any bend.

There is a tuning tool available, but it's just a sort of spring
loaded thing with a ruler. A human thumb and ruler is a lot cheaper
and works just as well.
