Hi all

I've also posted this on Ross Leidy's forum. I've made a mistake stripping the hull of my Guillemot.

I've realised that my strips have not been following form 16 at the stern, resulting in a more rounded stern than should be the case.

I've detailed it on my blog with pictures - let me know if it is considered bad form to make you visit the blog, and I'll happily duplicate the post here. The most relevant picture is below

I've grumbles about the Guillemot's tracking, so I'm a bit worried that a rounded stern will result in poor tracking.

My questions:
* Should I be concerned?
* If so, what best to do?
- Should I continue stripping, and later add a bit more wood in this region inside the hull, and then plane/sand it back quite a lot to gain the shape?
- Or pull these strips off, and re-glue it? (If I have to do this, what's the best way - can I soften the glue? It's standard woodworker's PVA)
- Or continue stripping as it is, and add a skeg, as Ross Leidy recommends anyway (see his article here)

Thanks in advance for your help!
