Getting serious now

Today I really got stuck into the Heron - took the plywood decking off most of the boat. One half of the front was sanded and I don't want to take those bit of ply off as they're in good shape and I like the look of the nails in the ply. When I replace the ply I want to use the bronze nails again so it matches the front. I'm pretty sure nails aren't needed with new epoxy's and it will create more work, but that's the look I want.

Very happy with my sanding

Taking off this ply made it easy to sand inside and remove any silicone (fingers crossed)!

Port side removed
