Default Stay measurements

In preperation of re-rigging my 1962 Columbia 29, I went up to the masthead with my tape and had a friend take measurements below. If I can trust his measurements to be accurate, this is what we came up with pin at masthead and spreader tangs to pin at chainplates.
Port upper: 34' 1 and 3/4"
Stbd uppper 34" 2 and 3/4"

Port Lower 18' 6 and 5/8"
Sbtd Lower 18' 7 and 7/8"

It seems to me if the port upper and the port lower are both approximately an inch shorter, ther would have to be a bit of an S shape in the top part of the mast if it were perfectly centered on the boat.
Should I worry about this, if the mast seems straight enough? Or get another pair of glasses.
Any ideas welcome.
Bob
