: Well I had just finished planing the bottom panels of my boat and was adding
: the angles to the ends (hope you understand this), anyways, I was in quite
: a hurry and a cut them upside-down. So if I continued to build my boat
: like this I would sink into the water. I was hoping to find out if I
: should simply cut off a few inches and correct it or if there is another
: solution I haven't thought of.
If i understand you, you cut the end of the panel with the keel side up and the bow side down. I'd cut off a few or so inches scarf in a fresh piece of plywood and try again. there is a lot of twist going on at this part of the hull so be sure to let your glue cure compleatly. should work. Good Luck
