You are right, the brochures on the Photo Album are for the Mk2.
AFIK, there were 3 models: The Redline 25 originated in the late 60s. The 25 (mk1, though it would not have been called that) which started in 1973. And the 25 mk2 first built in 1980. The Mk1 and Mk2 both have a swept back keel, but the one on the Mk2 is 6” deeper and a bit less swept back. The Mk1 does have the cabin trunk sweeping smoothly into the foredeck like the 33-1 and the 38, while the Mk2 has a break in the cabin trunk much like the 24s and the 26. The mk2 also has an anchor locker. The Mk2 has a bridge deck, while the Mk1 has a companionway that extends almost to the cockpit sole. In a Mk1, there is a lazarette at the aft end of the cockpit. The interior arrangement is pretty similar, except in the area of the galley. The Mk2 has the glued-in portlights of the 80s boats, while my Mk1 has aluminum frames (thank goodness).

I looked thru the brochures on the cncphotoalbum.com site and did not find the MkI '73 or '75 C&C 25 listed. The brochures appear to be 80's vintage. I think our local yard has MkI 25? It has a cabin top that fairs into the foredeck, no bump, and a very swept back keel. Anybody have the brochure for this model?

I have the same raised area of >fiberglass under one of the keel bolts, and also the same strip if roving >athwart the bilge and extending up under the cockpit sole. I am interested in the irregular hole in the sole that you show in photo #1. My bilge is accessed through a long rectangular opening in the sole, and the edges of the sole are recessed to take a rectangular teak board. So all of my keel bolts are accessible through the same rectangular opening. When I bought Belle in May, 1994 she had a C&C smile – though I did not know what that was at the time. On someone’s recommendation I opened up the crack, laid in sealant (maybe 5200?), faired over the sealant, and finished painting the bottom. When I hauled out that October, the smile was back. Belle also has rust in the bilge. My keel nuts were stainless, but there were what was left of galvanized washers under the nuts. I can’t quite determine if your keel nuts are stainless or galvanized – but the keel bolts and nuts on Belle were obviously clean stainless and still pretty shiny as I recall. Anyway, over the first winter I discovered a precursor to this list and learned about the C&C smile and proper keel bolt torque. I had some new stainless backing plates made from stainless (3/16” or ¼” thick) and before the spring launch I replaced all the rusted backing plates with stainless (one bolt at a time) and properly torqued the keel bolts. Then re-faired the smile and applied bottom paint. I re-torqued the bolts during a haul out in about 2003 or 2004 (they did not seem to have loosened any in the intervening 8 or 9 years). When Belle was last hauled a couple of years ago, there was still no evidence of a smile. Rick Brass Imzadi C&C 38 mk 2 la Belle Aurore C&C 25 mk1 Washington, NC
