Having had confirmation from Alec that we needed to fix our error, and the rather unnerving opening line from him that suggested "First, carefully cut the sternpost from the hog..." I put my mind to a solution.
Luckily, I hadn't glued the hog to the stem, so it was simply a case of working out where the transom knee crossed the sheer and moving the hog back before securing to the apron.
I swear I didn't make all that mumbo-jumbo up, and it all actually happened, but I would be lying if I said I didn't make it kind of more boatbuildery than it needed to be.
Alright - in English - I moved the inner keel back a bit till it was in the right place.
Anyway, the important thing is the measurements are now more accurate and we have a benchmark for other "Badgers" to be built. (We intend all subsequent Waikato rows to be races, and we'll need competition).
Anyway, crisis averted.
