Now it is the turn of hand sanding the areas that the machine can not do

Now starts the hand sanding of the areas which can not be done by machine such as the area of the cove line strip and the waterline edge where the hull is masked off 

A long and time consuming job that can not be rushed as the areas have to be rubbed down to the same smooth finish as the rest of the hull before it is ready to paint  

The same job along the waterline as the top of the hull 

Areas of spot filling to be done as we go along the hull sanding the areas top and bottom along the hull
