The 38 looks to be similar except on the 38 the back of the settee is not structural. Outboard of the chainplates and under the side decks are a pair of pilot berths. The chainplates are secured to the wood and fiberglass structure I talked about. I have seen a flattening of the curve of the hull below the waterline from overtensioning of the shrouds, but the bending of the hull comes from backstay/headstay tension.
BTW, on my boat the bending of the hull was only noticeable when the boat is out of the water. When she is floating on her lines, there is no problem even with the backstay cranked down pretty hard for a long time. You commented earlier that you hope the bend in your hull will go away when the boat is out of the water with the mast pulled, but based on my experience I'm a bit doubtful.

Here's a port side view <https://www.dropbox.com/s/0d2p882ehd1p6tw/IMG_3152.jpg> of the chain plate. For the other 37 listers, my head door has never had a problem.
