I doubt anyone else would trade you a keel. Possible, but not very likely. I changed our keel, Mars Metals took my old keel in trade and saved me thousands of dollars. They cast me a new beautiful one . The total cost including pulling mast, labor to remove old keel, ship to Canada, cast new keel ship back, and install, yard bills was around $16K in 2007.

I changed to high tech lines on all my halyards over the past few years. My perceived advantages are as follows: less weight aloft (considerable, maybe equivalent to a man on the rail), much nicer on the hands if you need to handle the line e.g. "jumping" the halyard and low to zero stretch/creep. Disadvantage is cost. I have a question for you. I have a C&C 41 1988 Wing Keel; I'd like to find a deep keel someone might have for sale............... could you put out the word for me. I haven't figured out how to access the classified section as yet.

What are the disadvantages, since it seems most people , when they have to , change to rope of various types. One I can think of is end to ending when there is wear, and also less weight aloft, although how much difference that makes on a relatively heavy boat I dont know. I club race white sail and will have to change fairly soon because of wear at the jammers and beginnings of fraying of the wire. I would tend to go with wire to rope again partly because of the type of sheaves presently employed so need a strong reason to change. While I am on the site, anyone with a 35-3 full keel who races against a 35-3 with keel centreboard have any idea of performance comparisons between them. My boat is a centre board version. We do well enough, feel that we do not point as high as other boats in our PHRF fleet especially in heavier air, no other 35-3s in that fleet, but we run well and often overhaul boats that may have got to the windward mark before us.
