I am following your progress with interest, thanks for sharing. Looking at picture 9 of page 2, it looks like the keel line deviates a lot from where it should be. Picture 6 seems to confirm that the twist of the keel panels have pulled the keel line down in the bow and stern sections. Were you able to fix this by pulling it up? I think I saw some contraptions here and there that helped doing that, and also a lot of stations in those sections. Anyway it looks like the final result is shaping up nicely, keep us posted.

: I put in a link to my web site on the design. There are more construction
