Check your mast butt position-it should be 1" behind the step in the cabin sole in the head. Any further aft and prebend will be substantially increased. Also, remember (I'm sure you know this) that the shrouds also induce mast bend due to the swept spreader configuration. Detune the rig slack all around, check mast butt position, then retune according to a good tuning guide.
