Juliano; welcome aboard; there is a wealth of collective knowledge here and
all of us had to start the learning process as you are doing; so, don't
hesitate to ask and pose questions; many of the people, myself included, had a
25 in the past and have moved up to larger vessels; the lessons learned, and
the joys of sailing these boats are lasting ones and translate well to
differing models; the advice regarding the keel smile fix is well documented;
my only advice is don't scrimp or try a band-aid approach, you will thank
yourself once you get out on the water and go sailing in a stiff breeze and the
boat heels over; that is when you will know that it was worth all the time and
sweat!

Subject: Stus-List No really a smile
Hi all,My first time messaging the list.
A couple of months ago I came by a C&C 25 that was neglected (aka abandoned)
for a couple of years on the hard. I am new to boat onwing and have been
learning a lot on how to get her ready following Casey's "This old boat" and
some youtube channels.
There is a crack (?) on the keel hull joint that I am not sure how to tackle.
It is not really a smile, maybe some broken teeth? =] Here is a photo of it
(damage is the same on both sides) https://bit.ly/3p9EsRT
Going over the variety of "smile repairs" there is one that seems like a good
option for me: G/Flex, sand, bottom paint. Can anyone share their wisdom with
me on this idea?
Thanks all!
