Hi all, I'm considering buying a C&C 38 Mk3, but I've noticed something on the keel that worries me.
There is a horizontal crack on both sides of the keel. The cracks stretch almost the full length of the keel. It's present at the same depth on both sides, but it's more noticeable starboard. (see drawing) The cracks are at the same depth as the keel bolts in the bilge (see photo). The keel bolts seem to be all in good condition. The crack is approx 43 cm (17 inch) lower than the base of the belly of the hull, measured from the outside. Drawing, and photo&video of the bilge here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6RCU4JpoorAXvxe99 By the way, this C&C 38 has the wing keel option. Have you seen something like this before? Do you think this is superficial, or structural? In your opinion, is it a deal-breaker for the purchase? Any opinion, comment and advise is greatly appreciated. Olivier
