Speaking of Random Orbit Sanders, we order our sanding discs (and all our other sandpaper) from Klingspors. Their sand "paper" is made on a cloth-like material and each sanding disc will last approximately 10 times longer than the cheap paper based sanding disc that most local hardware stores sell. Get a sandpaper cleaning block to clear the grit when it gets loaded up and it will last even longer.

In our woodshop we sand with a shop vac plugged to the ROS, over a downdraft table and with a shop air filter running. That's as close to dustless sanding as you can get. Sanding on a boat you could at least have a shop vac or, better yet, a portable dust collector attached you your sander.
