Recently took a three hour trip up the coast to look at a 1974 C&C MkII 27'. She is is reasonable condition and priced accordingly. Some of the issues are minor, a few of concern and I will ask your advice and opinion on those. She has core issues, but really was remarkable dry throughout. Bow pulpit stanchions an core from the tip of the bow to roughly 2' back will need to be re-cored and re-bedded...not a big deal as I have done much of this over the past 30 years. The leading edge of the keel has some dings and the port side shows some indication of the faring material coming away from the keel joint (as far as I could tell), Inspection of the keel joints showed all is well (and my god there is no bilge on this boat!!!). I'm thinking grinding and chipping it out, new faring material, barrier coat...etc... not too bad? Her winches (Barstow) are a but sluggish and it feels like a lot of drag on them. Never have had to service winches before but have heard it can be a nightmare?? Just another consideration. Sail inventory and electronics, running lights and cabin lights all in good order. chainplates, toerail...all good! The real bone of contention I suppose it the rudder. There is a noticeable crack at the top of the rudder which needs repair. The rudder is wet and there are something cracks on the bottom trailing edge that would need mending. Does this need a rebuild or can I get away with drilling, drying out, thickened epoxy resin in the holes and call it good? Is this a deal breaker? Any suggestions about the rudder. I would hate to have to remove it and rebuild but I could if I had to. Chris
