I need some help from the experienced builders out there. I have just completed the internal keel and when I look at it side on the top of the keel rises up towards the stern. I
This has the effect of making the top of the keel curve uop each end like a banana. At the centre point the bottom of the keel to the top is about 95mm whilst it is 100mm at the stern. Is this correct or do I have a duff part
