Step by Step Instructions Refinishing Lapstrake Sea Skiff Hull
I am about to undertake the refinishing of my 21' 1964 sea skiff's hull. I am looking for the best source of step by step instructions. I have Danenberg's book but it is light on the details of paint removal, and refinishing.

There are two volumes. Do you have both? I don't know of a better source. They are mostly carvel planked info vs lap strake tho. Be careful not to sand thru the outside layer of the plywood. It is paper like.

Re: Step by Step Instructions Refinishing Lapstrake Sea Skiff Hull
Thank you Jim. I am obviously using the term
Lapstrake incorrectly.
I do have both volumes. The book does not seem to address best paint removal methods and best repainting approaches specific to these boats. Scraping vs. sanding vs heat for example. I am also perplexed by CPES as there appears to be diverse views on its use in this situation.
Sounds like you recommend sanding. Hand, random orbit, or palm sander?
What about a scraper and to heat or not to heat?
So many questions.

Try using paint stripper in a test area. I would scrape it then use steel wool. Look at the paper outer surface and avoid breaking through the paper.
