Sanding back the hull, removing the black ghost coat until the hull in smooth enough to paint

Starting at the starboard bow using an air sander with P320 sanding discs. 


Sanding the hull was hard going as the Hi-Build Epoxy primer had a rough finish, however, the end result was a smooth finish which is true and fair with just a small amount of fine filling to be done in a few places.


Finally got to the bow again at the port side after two days of sanding and a a lot of elbow grease and patience later 


Just got the cove line and waterline area to hand sand to finish the job off before preparing to paint the first coat of orange gloss paint 



One of the more difficult areas to do as have limited room to put up staging to work on this area, will have to move the boat further up the workshop to gain better access to this area.
