On the Mac50 it happens at the bow and is supposed to. The datum start is from the stern. The patterns give a length a few inches longer than needed and the builder cuts back the side planks to suit the bottom planks which will vary from builder to builder depending on accuracy etc.

No big deal as Et says.
