Default rudder doesn't line up with keel

It actually looks like it was bent sideways.. I don't
think it has anything to do with the cradle.

Does someone know what caused this and how it can be
corrected?

The boat is about 30 years old at least.


Crappy photo.
Is the rudder offset or just appears bent sideways.
Seen a few boats that have sat badly in the cradle that have distorted
the hull so the rudder looks bent when it's the keel not plumb.
Also seen a few with the keel offset on the centreline...NOT Benny's.
