The 27V really only sails well to weather when the mast has 14 to 16" of rake. After years and years of tension to provide the rake it wouldn't surprise me if the mast has developed a bit of permanent dog leg. Especially if the baby stay has been over used.
It's a beefy mast but fairly flexible. I remember reading a warning about compressive bend which can occur without warning while tuning the rig. What this means exactly is beyond me but it sounds scary. It came from a 1984 Speedpak and its something that I think about as I'm tightening my stays.
