Toe rail

Phew!

Just stopped for the day after an 08:30 start (sander a bit antisocial this time of the evening when people are enjoying time in their cockpits)

But..... another productive day...

Today's goal.... the toe rail...

We started by applying Nitromors in 3 feet chunks of the 3"x2" toe rail, with Debs applying, and me following behind with a scraper.... and so it went... on and on and on....

By 16:30, we closed the loop, back where we started... a full 110 feet of wood scraped almost back to bare wood... remnants of varnish remain in places... It must have been on 10 years, and it's like concrete!

We did however dance a little jig around the decks in celebration upon getting back where we started!

An hour or so with the sander saw 20 feet nicely finished... so a few hours tomorrow and we'll be ready to apply the first coat of varnish...

Can't wait!
