IMHO it doesn't look bad. I would monitor it for a few seasons. Watch for
water ingress. Torque the keel bolts. Monitor some more. Drink rum.

Same for me. Used to have a 3 inches crack on the back of the keel joint and
filled it with epoxy every spring, then I used G/Flex and this was 5 years ago,
never had to fix it since.

Looks like the usual smile to me. Properly torque the keelbolts, grind out
the crack a bit, fill it with epoxy/glass, cover it with strips of biaxial
cloth/epoxy, go sailing.
That's how I fixed Touche' in 1999. No issues since.

True it flexs but that is what g/flex does I did my 29 with it 3 years ago and
it is still holding. Trick is to get the boat square in the cradle with equal
weight distribution so the kewl won't shift too much when lifted

My experience, 20+ years with a 27-3, is to fill with a flexible compound, not
something firm like epoxy. The boat flexes, you need to allow it to do so.

Lifted the boat and saw the smile, think it was done with g-flex? Apparently
the crack is hairline, not deep, not structural. And was filled -- now 1.5”
wide with the filler. Apparently no one went aground - by current or previous
owner (only two). Surveyor thinks otherwise and says to monitor
