My 35-1 has the same two bands, one at each end of the keel. When I
first got the boat the insurance survey found voids at the top end of
them on one side where the raised part fairs back to the normall hull
thickness, which had to be from the original layup as there's not much
load at the top and no sign of cracks. Nevertheless, my insurance co.
made me fill those voids with epoxy...

Yeah, I know, the 35-1 is not a cored hull. Well, not 100% true.
In the process of re-configuring Touche' batteries to add a dedicated
start battery, I pulled everything out of the aft dinette storage.
While the space was empty. I thought I'd grab a picture of the strip
of core that is at the aft end of the keel. There's a matching strip
on the other side.

This extra structure adds strength at the aft end of the keel in case
of a hard grounding.
