[Public-list] Hull deformity

Looking along the hull at the level of the stripe,not the boot stripe,the upper stripe,Tait Tait has a pronounced indentation in the region of the shrouds.I assume that it has been caused by over tensioned rigging by a previous owner.There is no sign of cracking ,its almost as though it happened before the lay up had cured but as it is on both sides I think this is improbable.It didn't right itself when the mast was unstepped about 18 months ago.I would like to fix it and wonder if it could be jacked out from the inside if the chainplate attachment points,I cant remember the proper term,were removed.I would hate to crack the hull trying this.
Has anyone else had this problem?
