Keith,
Having R&R'd my keel some years ago, it was a pricey procedure. We had to unstep the rig to get the forward keel bolt out. The total was around $7K, which included a fair amount of glass work on the keep stub, a SS support for the forward keel bolt, and fairing the keel back onto the boat.

This question is directed at those out there with centerboard modeled C&Cs. After hauling for hurricane sandy, I noticed that there is a crack running the entire circumference of the keel joint. but the crack seems to be too high on the hull to be the actual LEAD-to-Fiberglass joint. to explain.....I think when C&C made the centerboard models, they used a "transition piece" or "filler piece" to make up the difference between the two different keel joints. For example, on the 35-3, the deep keel boat has a keel joint that is somewhat angular (higher in the rear, lower in the front), while the c/b model has a joint that is basically parallel with the waterline. Also the deep keel boat has a keel joint that is only 5 feet long (along the joint) while the c/b keel is at least 8' or so long (along the joint) . So the question....has anybody with a C/B ever re-done their keel joint? how big of a disaster am I into? also....to anyone who's recently redone their keel joint...how much did it cost? (including pulling the rig and restepping it) thanks, Keith M C&C 35-3 c/b Beyond the Sea
