: I was all happy, having epoxied the inside of the hull of my S&G Chesapeake
: 17, pleased with the way it came out. Until....

: When I set the hull upside down I saw that the keel at the very stern must
: have moved when I was fairing the panels before applying the epoxy.

: Now it looks like I will be traveling in circles, or develope strong muscles
: on one side of my body.

: I've started sanding the side of the stern, trying to remove the leaning
: part, but I don't think I can remove ewnough that way.

: I have some pictures and a few more thoughts at the URL below.

: Is this the time to prepare for a Viking Funeral ?

: Thanks, Paul

No time for a funeral. Split the keel all the way to the point where it is straight. Retie it and reglue it. Sand off anything that looks "extra" adn it should be ok. I couldn't get to the link but your problem sounds like the one I had while building my WD Lightning 17. I forgot to set the hull panels straight before gluing.

Hope this helps.
