Worried About New Headsail - What to Look for ?

I received my new headsail today, I don't know much about sail construction but I'm a little concerned about this one. It is a tri-radial laminate from a local Doyle sail loft. The sailmaker came...

Post a picture but if I understand correctly, yours is probably just like mine (9.2A). In my case the bolts themselves were OK but there were metal caps or something similar put over the bolts that...

My understanding is most modern sailboats, under bare poles and not making way in the water (like at anchor), will naturally veer away from the wind. My boat settles at I would guess 60 degrees off...
