M_Boats: Backstay

While I was trying to walk off the affects of the third day of triptophine overdose, I went to check on Seafrog. The water was flat as a table top so I checked the rake of the mast. I have my backstay tightened up as far as she'll go. The studs in the turnbuckle are touching within a paper thin gap. But the mast is near plumb. It was my understanding that I should have a rake. Last year it seemed I had a modest amount of rake. Is it possible that the wire for the stay has stretched?? Thanks. And I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and that you have finally gotten rid of all the turkey leftovers. Gobble Gobble!! Joe Seafrog M17
