I'd have to agree with Shawn ('cause the same thing just happened to me). I was aligning scarf's on a CLC Chesapeake 18, and the last 2' section (towards the stern) canted off angle just slightly.

I spotted it about the same time the glue dried. I clamped the two pieces together, and with a sanding block made sure that they matched. The boat is not quite complete - I just put the 3rd coat of epoxy on the hull last night. But the panels are as close to fair as my eyes can discern.

Good luck.
