Galley drawer slides just fine and is nice and square so gave the galley box and drawer a sand and got primer going.

Will give this a sand with 240 in preparation for polyurethane paint.  While waiting for paint to dry I did a few small jobs.

Drilled and countersunk holes in windows.

 

Glued an aluminium tube in the bow compartment that can be used for testing if there is any water in the bottom once it is foam filled as well as pumping it out.

Started polishing chainplates.  First  sanded with grinder then 220 grit with orbital sander then 400 and 800 grit by hand and finishing with polishing compound on bench grinder with linen wheels.  Can get it nice and shiny but takes a long time.  Going to put the bends in before finishing the polishing.
