I don't see any indication that it has any barrier coat on it. The white areas appear to be the original gel coat. Don't be aggressive in your sanding. You should avoid sanding away any of the gel coat. Catalinas built in 1989 and thereafter had factory applied barrier coat. If a pre-1989 boat has no significant blisters after 35+ years, it might not need a barrier coat.

I again suggest a nice pull scraper instead of sanding.
