: Hi.

: Poland is it?
: Not to far from me, I´m building the 17 EXP my self and got the same problem.
: Not as bad as yours but any way it worries me. It´s the bow that is the
: problem about 1 cm/half inch aside after section 1. I havent had
: opportunity to test it in water yet because the ice. If you take a look at
: my blog (in part 11)you can see how I test to fix it. Maybe you can fix
: the kelson, take a completely straight spruce stringer aboute 1/4 inch
: thick and 1/2 inch wide and glue it to the kelson then it should go
: strait.. hopfully....

Bulgaria actually :) - not to close either. Unfortunately the problem with my boat is hull twist. The kill is strait. It is not clear on pictures I didn't saw it at first - i needed a level to find it. Starting from stern to bow it is level till section 3 and then it started to twist progressively and in the end it is about 8 degrees from vertical center.

I'll try to solve it but will see what will happen - I'll the bow and will try to force it to the opposite side and glue again the stringers. I highly suspect one of the gunwales - its curve is not as smooth as the other one.

Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate your help.
