As the family tracks thru the build site a few times each day and is nearly a part of the house; I've tried to keep the sanding dust under control. I sanded the hulls before primer with a 1/2 sheet orbital sander which doesn't throw the dust as bad as a disc orbital. I wasn't quite happy with the finish on the aft section so filled out the weave a lot more on the bow section, which then required more sanding!

Stole this from Jim Brown/ Jo Hudson, but pretty appropriate in relation to getting a decent finish on a boat you plan to actually use!

A good idea of the dust piling up to be vacuumed away on the bow section.
