Levelling The Hull - Again!

I wanted to be certain that the boat was exactly level when I marked in the waterline, so I double checked using a long level taped to the keel, as here.

I had previously only used a short level to do this, and sure enough the much longer level showed that the hull was not level fore and aft.

A similar exercise on the transom showed that it too was not exactly level, like this.

So the bottle jack was employed to level things up at the stern, as here.

And at the bow.

All was now ready for the waterline to be added.
