Agree with Dave: there is no such thing as wiggle room in keels....

is being dropped and properly re-bedded. IMHO elongation of bolt holes has
occurred and will only get worse. From: dwight veinot via CnC-List

Subject: Stus-List Re: 25 MKII - Smiling? I would say none is closer to
normal. I have a 1974 C&C 35. Never saw its keel wiggle lifted out of the water
in fall and put back in the water every spring. On Mon, Jan 3, 2022 at 9:13

I also noticed that the keel on my 30 MKII wiggled alarming during lift out
this year. Our club lifts as a group with a crane with very long straps. It was
very windy so the straps were vibrating in the breeze (gale?) which transferred
to the hull and caused the keel to wiggle. In my case I believe the fibreglass
keel stub was flexing, not the joint at the keel bolts. After being alarmed by
this on my boat I paid closer attention to the subsequent boats coming out and
observed that some of those wiggled too but not to the same degree as mine. I
have inspected the structure around the bilge to the extent that it’s visible
and don’t see any issues. I’m very interested in hearing opinions from this
list about how much keel movement is normal. Julian Norris C&C 30-2

Happy New Year! We're hoping to get some insights on an issue we are having
with our keel. We recently had our 25 MKII hauled for some winter projects and
were surprised to see that the keel "wiggled" when the boat was on the travel
lift, a little bit laterally. I've uploaded some photos of the keel and the
keel bolts. Here are some observations: 1) No signs of weeping from the keel
joint and no visible separation when lifted from the stands. 2) None of the
keel bolts (3 in total) leak. 3) Crack at the aft end doesn't look typical of
the C&C smile based on internet searches. Should we torque the keel bolts,
grind out the crack, fill (G-flex?), fair, and paint, or is this beyond a
"smile" fix? Thanks! Stephen Thanks to all of the subscribers that
