December Till February: Sanding for Paint preparation

In the last months I had been sanding the cockpit with grade 60/80 with the orbital sander, as first step of the painting preparation. My litle beautifull daughter Júlia and the wheater (strong winds and rain) didn't let me much time for the boat. 

Today is March 6 and theres a lot to do till the project is finished. More than one year has past since the start, much more time than I iniatialy estimated. The follow steps will be :

1) Sand the rest of deck for paint preparation with 80 and then all the deck again with 120

3) Sand Hull for new anti-fuling preparation

    (4.4) build another hatch in GRP.

    (4.5) Build the rudder Head with fiber and resign

5) Reifit the seats wood structure and test it in place, but not assembling
