Crows Nest has aftermarket (glasstech?) decks on her that need to be painted. They look like they've been painted before. I thought I'd start with 150 grit on my sander to see what happens--it takes the non-skid off pretty quick.
Is there a way to sand the deck for painting and still preserve the non-skid, or do you not worry about it, and add non-skid to the paint when you paint?

Re: Painting non-skid decks
I did this one 15 years ago still good.
gel coat and silica sand tossed on top then a layer of gel on top.
When the gel was first rolled out I hand sprinkled the sand on top till it covered all the gel coat then when it dried I shop vacuumed it off then another gel coat on top.
The sand was as fine as they make worked great even in chumed decks in high seas.
