[Alberg30] Bottom Paint

[Hansen, Richard D LTC Student]

Should have sent this earlier.
After 6 months on the hard, I've power washed the bottom hull.  
Some of the 2 year old ablative paint has flaked off in small and big
patches.  Questions on how best to proceed with new bottom paint.
1. Orbital sander with 60 to feather bare patches & overall bottom? OR
2. Buy glass friendly paint remover and remove all old ablative?  If so,
will standard LOA X ? formula work for qty of paint remover?  Does this get
too messy?  Easy or hard? Any value to leaving old ablative on the hull as
protective layers? etc.
3. Other suggestions not covered in This Old Boat?
I'm not a racer and looking to balance effort/time with results.  Thanks.
