Hi Ryan, welcome to the list! I had a worse looking smile than that on my Viking 33 when I got her. I had the yard torque the bolts (I didn't have a torque wrench that could handle the job) and they cleaned and faired the crack. 4 years later there was no sign of the smile returning. I'm thinking you could do the same. Danny

That's a relief to hear. I have not torqued the bolts yet, but I plan to using the specs on cnc photo album. I can't stop picturing the nightmare scenario of my feel falling off... like that Oyster off the coast of Spain recently.

But I'm excited to join because I'm the proud new owner of a 1976 C&C 30 mki. My boat is hauled for the winter and is exhibiting the much-talked-about C&C "smile" at the front of the keel, but there is also a hairline separation from the hull at the very aft section of the keel that extends for about 6" from the aft of the keel forward. This separation is such that if I kneel down and peer at it at just the right angle, I am able to see light on the other side. I am concerned. I have a survey from 2014. And there is no mention of the keel. It only states, "...The vessel was observed on stands. A bottom examination was conducted. No structural deformities were noted. Running gear is in acceptable condition..." etc. etc. Some photos of my keel are available at the links below. If anyone has some insight/experience into what I'm seeing I'd love to hear it. Thanks so much and excited to be a part of the forum. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8g8d5sXYVWGc2xDZXpBS3A5MEMtdE5YdlRPQVZhWTFGWmNN/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8g8d5sXYVWGa1RYX0p1dTFQWjk2UDVDdmhURmkzRXJZNjAw/view?usp=sharing
