But as you noted, it's still vaporware; I was at HD a little while ago and it hasn't hit the shelves yet, and the Ryobi ads there don't show it yet. I did pick up one of the Ryobi P-400 Corner Cat sanders. Hanging over the side of my boat with my P-C 333 corded sander didn't seem like a real bright idea, since I'm constantly dropping the thing. (I love it, but it's sure not ergonomically designed for anything except flat horizontal sanding.) The Corner Cat has a D-handle, so I can rig it with a leash to keep it from disappearing into the murky depths.
