The bulkhead was out of alignment when the sides were glued on . The bottom of the bulkhead was correct but top was out by a few cm . You mus clearly mark position when drawing sides otherwise it is very diff to find a reference point latter.

<p>Because the construction is organic, it is quite possible, if fact highly likely that the hulls/decks are different.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The problem is finding an equal reference point on each hull from which to measure. Once you establish a matching pair of horizontal and vertical measuring points, then you can make a determination.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Remember: any bulkhead may not be square in up to three planes - it could be tilted fore/aft, and/or twisted horizontally, and/or rocked port or starboard. It is a meticulous job to find a common reference point between two hulls.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It is NOT uncommon for any beam to be more forward/aft on one hull than on the other. However, 3cm would seem to be at the high end of misalignment on a 26.</p>
