[C38] Cutlass Bearing Strut Faring

[Marc Stewart]

Here is a picture - that shows not the crack but a side view of the  
faring that's "loose."  The loose section lies between the aft egg  
zinc and the leading end of the propeller assembly above (below in  
this pix) the visible cutlass bearing.  No, the boat's not upside down!
