Strip: warped guillemot

I have just finished stripping the hull of my guillemot. So far I really have enjoyed the work and can see how this sort of thing is addicting!

Today I flipped the boat over and took a look at the deck side of things.

It seems as though when I built the hull when I put the first strip on (I am assuming) it pulled the bow and stern forms to one side (if you are looking at the bow of the boat both the bow and stern forms are leaning to the left approx. half an inch.)

This blows! What do I do? Anyone got a quick easy fix?

I have used internal stems and quarter inch strips bead and cove if this matters.

Do I even have to worry about this? Is this section out of the waterline? As in if I can live with the error will it affect performance?

Any help is always appreiciated

Dave
