I decided to try and remove the paint on the cabin front with 150 Grit sandpaper in my orbital sander.
I tested on the bootstrap on the transome with success so took to the cabin front.
Here's a picture showing before, during and after. The sanding was followd by 3M Cleaner Wax and hand buff.
I also cleared the nasty yellow boot stripe on the transom, started on the hull and then the rains came....
Other todo's done :
Primed the cabin bunks, Clean/Was forward Deck, romved hand rail, and hatchboad teack (rails etc) for cleaning
put on plastic shroud covers. removed jib haylard have new one to put on.

Perrrrrrrrfect! Treat her like the winch she is. Give 'er a good grinding!

Good job ... I recently bught a CP19 that was very badly oxidized. I went with 220 wet paper for removing the heaviest oxidation - finished removal with 400 and then did 800-1000-2000 before finally polishing with a foam pad on a power buffer with 3M polishing compound. The 220 cleaned it well but it took the really fine stuff too make it shine. I'm about two-thirds done with the hull below the joint.
