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. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yV1JEN3YxQk1RbHc/view?usp=drivesdk Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jul 21, 2017

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. Sylvain C mkIII Envoyé de mon iPhone > Le 21 juil. 2017 à 11:27, Mike Macdonald via CnC-List

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. Look here: http://cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/smile/index.htm

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 Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 21, 2017, at 11:17 AM, John Irvin via

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. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 21, 2017, at 11:03 AM, Chris Hobson via CnC-List > wrote:

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
