St. Clair Marine, which is on the Canadian side at La Salle on the Detroit river does decent work, but they are not cheap. Repairs and storage is what they do, and they seem to do a fair bit of both. I had a look around when I was looking at an Islander 36 that was for sale there in January of 2009. I really don't know if he is more expensive than anyone else, but an aquaintance of mine with a C&C 29 had some collision damage repaired there 2 years ago. An idiot in another sailboat had T-boned him while he was at anchor near the beach, with his kids swimming in the water around the boat. Charges were laid. Anyway there was damage to the toe rail, hull, and deck at the point of collision and when he got the boat back you couldn't tell any thing had happened. The damage visible from the outside was maybe a foot long tops, but penetrating. The bill was around 15 grand if I recall correctly, but it was an insurance job, and sometimes that makes a difference. I would certainly shop around, both for competence and price. South Shore Yachts might be worth contacting since they were formed in part from the remanents of C&C. I don't think that they tackle repairs of that nature, but it might be worth seeking advice there anyway given their particular knowledge of C&C yachts.

This is my second season with this boat. I purchased from the widow of capt I raced with for 25 years. I was aware of crack but no idea how severe a problem this could be (DUH) and had to have boat due to sentimental reasons. We raced boat but not seriously since 2007. Crack developed in 2010. Any recommendation on a qualified shop to repair?

That type of cracking looks structural to me and no amount of lipstick and mascara will fix that. I'm not sure of the layup of your hull but if its involving a balsa core and possibly combined with winter freezing cycles with trapped core water, it could be a serious issue there.
