Rainy day. Removed two sections of tabbing that had separated from the hull. One 8" section connected the underside of the deck to chain locker bulkhead from the starboard side of the hull inward t8" toward the centerline. The second section connected the deck to the wood beam. The metal supports prevent me from laminating in a replacement. The Ridgid multitool with a cutting blade does a wonderful job, allows one to control very well the location and depth of the cuts. Used to same tool to remove a number of resin "stalactites" hanging from the underside of the deck at the hull to deck join, as well as from beneath the shelf. Too cold to fiberglass today.

Removed the screw pentrating the foredeck used to secure the table, after cutting my scalp quite nicely. Filled the hole on deck with 3M 4200 as a temporary measure.

Continued sanding in the v-berth. Last time was 2017-03-05 when the starboard side was done. Sanded the port side using the same tools. As work progressed, the humidity built up till the boat started "sweating" and the sanded paint particulate started to become a mud. Opened the hatch despite the rain and placed the fan to exhaust air from the v-berth to the outside. Tremendous difference.

Noticed that areas already sanded showed some lifting of the existing paint, some bubbles under the paint. Quite disappointing. Decided to try scraping in place of sanding. What a difference. Flakes in place of dust. No need to change sandpaper. Scraped the entire v-berth in less time than required to sand and removed a significantly greater amount of the Kilz Original White Low-VOC Oil-Based Interior Primer, Sealer and Stain-Blocker applied by John Maleszewski. The Kilz did not adhere well to the underlying paint which is a faint pink. The faint pink, by contrast, is well adhered to the fiberglass of the sides and overhead, as well as the wooden flats. Should have scraped from the start.

Measured the shroud tensions on Argo for comparison. Argo's lowers are 3/16" as expected, rather than 7/32" as on Constance. 

Shroud tensions:
