Friends, looking into copy of my plan and noticed that line going thur the middle of the keel is not quite straight... This part of a copy will be used for a jig and wondering if I am being to picky or should I just go and make another copy of the plan?

Few more details... Ship is on pedestal now.. At this moment I was worried about lights, maybe I accidentally cut some wires so had to do testing and likely, no cut wire... But the phone pictures are not sharp due to the amount of light available... Peek into captain'...
