: When I was building my kayak I started the stitching at the bow and worked
: back towards the stern and found that the panels did not line up at the
: stern. When I tried to make them match up the keel took a twist. I
: struggled over what to do and I ended up making the keel line straight and
: sanding the panels to match each other. It sounds like you did what I did.
: Good luck with everything else. What a learning experience.

I know that you are supposed to pinch and wire the every ends and the very middle then work your way out. I redid that for the keel panel and it got one degree better. It is still not perfect, but since no one else saw the twist except me --- I'm happier.
