Bill, Do the early C&C 39’s have an iron keel with a lead shoe like the early Bruckmann 43’s or are they solid lead?
It has been 36 years since I help repair a 39 keel (hit a small island in BC attempting to get out of the current) and cannot recall the construction. That particular 1974 39 had the C&C smile issue in 1977. We fixed it several times with the flexible filler then finally bit the bullet and added glass cloth and resin to the area.

Not much of a stub, and very little stub in the forward half, except in the front, where it angles down about 30 degrees which you show with your line. If it isn’t leaking I would just tighten the shit out of the bolts, scrape the crack, and put some 5200 on that. Not necessarily in that order. Only problem is it is really hard to sand 5200. Mine leaks a little forward when sailing, and this fall when I pulled the mast the bolt under the step was quite loose. Will see what the spring brings now. Bill Coleman C&C 39
