Norcalsail...the boat was stored upside down under a deck and there was a small set of wheels attached to the gudgeon bracket that allowed it to be rolled in and out over plywood that was laying on top of the sand. Over time the plywood deteriorated and the bow was laying in direct contact with the sand when I rescued it, but the rest of the deck was raised off the ground. Consequently, those marks were only on the surface of the gelcoat and came from laying on some decaying leaves, etc. They would not come off with powerwashing, or even acetone. It took compound and several passes with the orbital polisher to remove them. What you can’t see in the pics is that there are some small blisters in the gelcoat from laying on the damp sand for 30 years which I am leaving alone. There are also some deep scratches in an arc pattern across the bow from the interlocking eye bolts connecting the spars. I think that is pretty common and not worth fixing.
