IIRC – the MK III can have the standard “tighten the bolts” smile or a more serious issue with fiberglass repairs needed.
Is there a way to tell which is which?

I wouldn't worry too much about a hairline crack. FYI, I read somewhere that 90% of the boat should rest on the keel and 10% on the stands. 12000# boat should have only 1200# on the stands. If you have 6 stands and a bow stand that's less than 200# on each stand. Google "Brownell" to see a video on how they set up and adjust the stands. _____ From: "Ainslie via CnC-List" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Cc: "Ainslie" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2015 12:25:33 PM Subject: Stus-List Starting to 'smile' I acquired ‘Spirit’ this past summer, so I’ve just gone through my first haul-out. I examined the hull very carefully for blisters (none), and checked the keel for the C&C smile- also none. When I went to check on her this past week, I can now see a hair-line crack starting to appear where I think the keel-stub is. My question is: did I just miss it on my first inspection, or could this be a result of improper loading on the cradle, ie: too much of the boat’s weight being supported on the keel? If so, would it help to ratchet up the support pads to relieve the weight somewhat? I’m going to talk to the yard guys this week, but it would be good to have other owners’ thoughts. Thanks!
