Removing the old bottom paint and sanding back to make it ready to epoxy shield the bottom before making a new keel.

Sanding the old bottom paint with extraction on the sander keeping the dust down to as much as possible.


The bottom is in fairly good overall condition apart from a few chips on the bottom where it must have been grounded in the past.


The port side all sanded back then on to the starboard side


The starboard side to go, it should be okay if it is like the port side.


Once it is done then the bottom will be epoxied and then then the new keel can be made and fitted to the hull, Then the boat will be turned over and the hull side.ill be sanded and painted and then the fit out of the inside of the boat can be finished off and the engine and stern gear and the rudder can be made and fitted.
