Hi, I am a new C&C 35 Mk2 owner, and I am a new owner of a sailboat in general. The yard is telling me the "smile" on my boat is a bit excessive. Sailors on the Sailnet suggested me to post my question on here to get more accurate suggestions. So here I am.
Some people suggest me to tighten the bolt, or even drop the keel to fix it for the long term; some suggested it is just appearance and no structural concern, and "filling" or "patching" the smile is part of regular annual maintenance for this boat. I am seeking advice from people with experience on this model or similar C&C boat in construction (solid FG hull and swing back keel). What would you recommend? Thank you in advance. Bo
