Based on my miss-adventures involving 70's and early 80's C&Cs I would expect similar results. Our 43 has several inch thick solid glass at the stem and would do fine (cosmetic damage) with the collisions shown. The thick solid glass runs full length making survivability likely in the case of running up onto debris.
I was once crew on a C&C 39 that hit Entrance Island BC during a Southern Straits of Georgia race. We hit had enough that crew on deck were knocked flat. The only damage found was a golf ball size chunk of lead missing or displaced on the keel.
