What this video covers
Jorman continues the restoration of a sailboat currently in a shipyard, focusing on sanding the deck to prepare the surface for painting.Watch Using a Makita power sander, he spent five hours removing old, flaking paint from the majority of the deck surface.9:07 He notes that the work is physically demanding, requiring frequent breaks for hydration and rest to manage fatigue and hand cramping.0:48 While he successfully cleared most of the deck, he identifies small, tight areas around windows and mid-deck sections that require further attention with finer-grit sandpaper.8:22 The goal is to achieve a smooth, stable base to ensure the new paint adheres properly and prevents future peeling.10:56 Despite negative feedback from local workers at the yard who doubt the project's feasibility, Jorman maintains progress by working daily and documenting the restoration to track his achievements.2:01 He plans to finish the remaining sanding and cleaning before inspecting the hull for water leaks.10:31
