Problems lofting Guillemot stations #9 & #10

I've been transferring all the offsets (including those reflected in the "erratas") to manila paper following the instructions from Nick's book.

But on sections #9 & #10, in the same deck buttock (8 inches) I've noticed a severe deflection of the curve, making a kind of "V".

Actually the upper side of the curve is just informative, because that's the place for the copckit but... who knows... maybe I am not doing something well.

So here is my question: Should I cut the pattern following this depression or, instead, I just smooth the curve connecting the adjacent points?

Thanks in advance
