First job - Scrape her bottom !
Bought a random orbit sander from Machine Mart, lasted 2 days before burning out, so took it back for replacement.
Big job, took ages, lying on my back, but finally getting to a stage where we could fill any dimples in the gelcoat ( under the waterline ), using an epoxy filler, then paint with grey filler primer. This will need anti-foul painting just before she goes back into the water.
Pam started sanding down above the waterline, but we eventually realised that it would be sometime before we would refloat her, as we are able to live aboard on the hard-standing. So, drop everything on the hull and start on the topsides.
