Hi there, Is this a drawing of an Expedition Single or a Guillemot? I think the ExSingle has quite a bit of hollow there. You probably shouldn't have that much hollow on a Guillemot.

I'd either re-bevel the end form (or inner stem if you have one) or just strip around it, as long as the keel line will stay fair.

On my stretched Guillemot, I ran into that problem on the stern form. Since I wanted a bit more skeg there, I just stripped around it.

By the way, your sketch is pretty good!

: Sorry. Here it is. Terrible drawing, but I hope you can see what I mean.
