Sanding is fun!

Waiting for Christeen’s keel has given the shipwrights and volunteers the opportunity to focus on the smaller details. Last week all of the topside paint and white bulwark paint was sanded nearly completely off to begin prepping for a new paint job - Christeen is going to be looking very good this fall! Stripping a boat is pretty strait forward, anyone can do it, just start sanding. All in it probably took about 200 man hours to strip Christeen down to what you see in the pictures. This morning the bowsprit was removed for some TLC, more pictures to follow. Enjoy!
