I sure do in my harbor. These few weeks when it warms up enough to 'paint', I hear the sound all around me on the harbor. Bottom paint, topsides paint, varnishes, it's a flurry right now.
The Schooner Rebecca, designed and built (at Benjamin and Gannon), on Martha's Vineyard in 2001, gets a light sanding for a spring maintenance coat of spar varnish.
The boat has sailed a lot in 17 years with 2 Atlantic crossings, extensive cruising in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. She now sails the coast of Maine and New England.
Most of the brush noise is on land. The sheds are full so work is overflowing onto the harbor. I'm a design builder so I find staging enthralling. This mobo has a tall topsides. The pipe staging has been set so the, sander - followed by the roller and tipper - can each reach the edge of the toe rail. You can usually tell the amateurs by their staging (or lack of). This old boat will look brand new in a few days.
