I left some screws in several places just to be careful that the top of the sailboat was still screwed to the hull. You never know how long it will be taken apart. I did not expect two months of bad weather. Overall it was a rather quick job once I had the right weather.
It was not a really difficult job, just not one you want to do everyday. I could not imagine working in a boat yard for a living! There are some jobs you wil only do for just your family.
I had already sanded the bottom and thought I had it down far enough, but after reading some horror stories about incompatible bottom paints, I decided to take it down to the glass.

About the hardest part of putting the marine caulk into the old rub rail holes was finding the right weather to allow to cure in the months of January and February.
After removing the rub rail there was more sanding, cleaning, and more sanding! The sanding never ends!
Removing rubrail After most of the sanding was completed it was time to remove the aftermarket rubrail. There was so much grime under it, it was hard to tell it was actually gelcoat.
