Too Many Measurements

It is possible to drive yourself crazy by trying to get too many alignment/measuring systems to all read true. You need to figure out what the minimum number of checks are to be accurate and then concentrate on making those checks without error.

I'd say that if the curves of the keel and chines look fair and winding sticks indicate no twist problems, you're probably ready to glass.
