I see you have the keel clamped in a vice. Good, but one at each end might have been better!? Should limit/stop any tendency of the structure to twist. Don't release it until glue on the final planks is set!
Otherwise normal practise to prevent twist is to plank upside-down (as Dave said) fixed to the building board, starting at the keel and working up on alternate sides. Looking forward to progress reports. 😎
This is essential to do before planking to ensure proper seating (greater glue contact area) of the planks and maintaining the correct hull shape.
Use a medium grade sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood ca 2 x 1 and at least as long as the length along 3 adjacent bulkheads.
If I've missed some detail please ignore the ramblings of an old man, if not ....! Cheers Doug 😎
