Peter,
It's not a serious issue. Many of us on the list have or have had the same
condition. Most of us have solved it by first ensuring the keel bolts are
properly torqued. The torque specs can be found on the C&C photoalbum site at:
<http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/torquebolts/torquebolts.htm>
To properly torque them, they must first be backed off then re-torqued.
After that the chosen solutions diverge. I covered the hull/keel joint on my
35-1 by epoxying overlapping layers of 4 inch biaxial tape. It's been over 10
years now and the demarcation has not reappeared.
