S&G: S&G: FLAT/FAIR KEEL

THE KEEL OF MY ARCTIC TERN SHOULD REMAIN FLAT OVER AN EXTENDED SECTION.
MY KEEL IS DEVIATING ABOUT 3/16" AT THE BUTT SEAM. THE HULL /KEEL WIRING MAY BE ADDING TO THAT DISTORION. DO I WANT TO PULL THE WIRES TIGHT ENOUGH TO PINCH THEM FLUSH INTO THE WOOD OR DO I JUST GET THEM UNIFORM AND SITE A FAIR KEEL LINE FROM THAT ELEVATION?
