It’s fairly common on some older C&C’s. In particular, the 32’s. I think we
named it the “dimple”. There have been discussions on the topic here in years
past. It’s usually the brace for the upper shrouds.
My 35-1 had it. It sanded out easily with a straight line sander when I prepped
Touché for painting.
It’s pretty much cosmetic. Probably due to a combination of post cute shrinkage
and minor deformation due to rig tension.
The good thing is it’s indicative of the rigging loads being transmitted
directly to the hull rather than to a bulkhead. That was one of my top criteria
when I was boat shopping.
