Brien,
The keel stub extends roughly 4-6” from the hull down at the aft end. I can’t tell from the picture if you damage is to the glass or the lead portion of the keel. Either way, the suggested methods of sealing it with epoxy will work. Some glass and fairing will make the repair blend into the keel better too. I have pictures of my 35-3 without the keel attached, if you are interested.

I recently discovered this split in the trailing edge of my keel (photo provided via google drive link below). It looks as though the split has exposed the lead of the keel. The rest of the keel looks fine. No evidence of any water intrusion of any kind in the keel to stub joint. No C&C smile at all. Has anyone seen anything like this or had to make this repair on their boat. This is my first season with her and I'd rather not get into a super expensive keel repair if I don't have to. My thoughts were inject with epoxy, cover with glass mat, sand, fair, and repaint. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzW7COeyzYvZRTY5VFNtQWRlLUgtUnFianBxUmpOQXYtYThV Brien Sadler 1987 C&C 35-3 Norwich, CT
