Is the mast truly bent or just kinked at the Comptip joint? If it's just kinked, it sounds like your Comptip may have not been installed correctly - a kink at the Comptip joint on a new boat is not normal. Contact the dealer to have them look at it / re-install it, which should be under warranty.
A bent mast is not normal either, but may be caused by sailing with the mast counter-rotated for a period of time in heavy air. The dealer will need to inspect it.
Your jib halyard tension may also be a bit high, exacerbating the problem. The jib halyard should be very snug, but not so tight the mast wants to center itself all the time.
