: RMan, I know your words are clear but I don't have an image of the problem,
: making things tighter won't make it fair if there's a gap or uneven
: joining at the butt joints. Are you saying the keep line goes concave
: 3/16"?
Thanks Lee.
The deviation is concave from bow to stern, about 3/16"
I attempted to cut the wire tensioning the center temporary form . This was'nt the culprit.The butt joints match perfectly and the bow/stern panels are right on the money. There is no pinched appearance to the hull(good symmetry) just this annoying cocave rise from bow/stern generated about 7" aft/foreward of butt seam.
Any ideas?
