Hi Lisle,
I couldn’t confirm by looking at the third picture (of the keel) in the
YachtWorld listing, but I suspect that is the seam between the actual lead keel
and the fiberglass keel stub that is part of the hull. The keel bolts to the
hull at that keel stub. That seam looks pretty darn good to me. Google “C&C
smile” and you’ll see worse seams, for example here’s a DIY article on fixing
one: http://cncphotoalbum.com/doityourself/smile/index.htm.
If you’re not already considering this, I might recommend you hire a reputable
professional marine surveyor to survey the boat. It might cost you $1000, but
that will buy you peace of mind. The survey would hopefully identify any
deal-breaking issues with the boat, or else give you reassurance that you’re
buying a sound boat. If you buy the boat, the survey might give you an initial
list of things that need attention, and a good survey report is generally
valuable to have if you ever go to sell the boat. In fact you should ask the
seller to see any previous survey reports.
That is a good-looking boat. I love the interior - it makes my 1972 C&C 30 MK
I look quite spartan in comparison.

Hi all,
More questions from an aspiring C&C owner. :)
I'm considering this 1987 C&C 30mkii and overall it looks interesting.
http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/C%26C-30-3079275/Rochester/NY/United-States#.WcRLTWiPJPY
I'm stuck with a draft of 5 or under where I'll be keeping the eventual
sailboat I get and this is the only wing keel version I see available at least
reasonably nearby.
I have a question about what appears to be at least a surface crack along the
middle of the keel that goes pretty much the entire length of the keel.
I've pasted the picture into the email below but not sure if that is going to
show up on the listserv.
If not, if anyone familiar with this model in particular could let me know if
you could take a quick look at the picture and provide an opinion on normal vs.
abnormal I could email pics. Thanks for your consideration.
Lisle
