I'll ask my friend how it was done on his boat....It was back in 1991
and I simply don't remember. He had another issue he didn't know about
when he bought the boat.....the boat had a hard grounding and the hull
had a 'horse shoe shaped' crack in front of the keel. He hired a
contractor to do that repair and maybe it was the contractor that
removed the contaminated foam......he may have had to cut it out....I am
reasonably sure the void was filled with resin.
I'll ask and get back to you.

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I would welcome any more insight and
look forward to Doug's 35iii photos, off-list as well.
I will add to the discussion the following excerpt from an email reply
from nick at Bristol marine, in response to my request for an estimate
on re-bedding the keel and filling the smile:

However, based on our long experience repairing C&C's, in particular
the 33 Mk II, 35 Mk III, & the 41, all of which have the ballast
attached to the hull at the end of a very deep keel sump, there may be
more serious structural issues involved, particularly if the boat has
been aground at any point in its life. The key indicator of more
serious issues are exterior stress cracks (sometimes obvious,
sometimes subtle) at the radius where the fin meets the hull,
particularly at the leading & trailing edges. Other signs of trouble
are cracks or delamination where the interior structural grid meets
the keel sump, delaminated tabbing at the bottom of the main bulkhead
port & stb, or signs that the mast step is sagging.
If in doubt, have an experienced surveyor familiar with these issues
look at the boat. i.e. Bill Provis, 416-801-5527 <tel:416-801-5527>;
Peter McGuire 416-809-2186 <tel:416-809-2186>; or Wallace Gouk
416-526-3845 <tel:416-526-3845>

I also spent some more time learning how to search past posts and
picked up a little more info, though one question not answered was:
How do you get the foul smelling, deteriorating foam out of the
crossmember?
Looking forward to getting mine further apart and - if nothing else-
reinforcing this potentially weak area.
Dave.
