I noted this a while back on my findings about the keel hull joint on the 35/3 and 33/2 models and that comment got a fair amount of disagreement from some owners on this list.but I really liked the 35/3 design . and the 33/2 design as well but I learned that both have some serious issues where the keel joins to the hull that might require significant repair which may or may not solve the problems, depends how the repair is done.it is an important area to fix and I believe that one of our members has experience in doing it properly.ask and you will find out.the fix is relatively expensive but worth it if you like your boat.IMHO do the proper fix and you'll not regret it

I was checking on Mojito this morning, and noticed beads of moisture in two areas; a spot at the top of the keel trailing edge and an 8" hairline crack on the port side at hull / keel stub (almost exactly where the mast step is internally). Would this have been enough for you to go ahead with major keel surgery? Rear of keel I've been trying to resolve this for a while; two separate boat yards have had a go at if, and the area is now solid fiberglass / epoxy, but still a tiny crack / area of moisture. There was water in the bilge just aft of the rear keel bolt (I removed the floorboards and sponged the area dry). Water would not normally stay in that area, but the boat is tilted back a little on the stands. I have not had the keel bolts torqued in 7 years (since I bought Mojito). Mast Step area This is the first year I've noticed moisture in that area; there have been hairline cracks in the antifouling before. The mast is stepped and I can't access that area through the mast step, which appears sound. Thanks, Tim Mojito 1984 C&C 35-3 Branford, CT _____ No virus found in this message.
