Well I've found the problem. Seems I've cocked up one frame badly. I think when using an old broken frame pieced back together for a template I have somehow got the curve all wrong when I've reassembled it at one stage. This showed up in the difference between the new frame and the lamination piece. I'm happy to report the keel is dead flat with the original frame in place and another forward panel refitted with good a reference from the original bearer position.
I'm now going to change my direction and get started on the bearers and get them temporarily fitted first, then work the frames to the keel and bearers as references. This job is a bit like putting toothpaste back in the tube or fixing your engine by going up the tail pipe. Fun and games.
The first picture is the forward frame in front of the engine which is all good.
The second is the frame which is way too proud of the keel compared to the original. It does line up at the chine frame ok. The curve is all wrong. Good thing I bought extra timber.
