Jim,

Thinking about it again, if you can avoid putting small particles in the air you will be better off.
No way to avoid it if you are sawing strips on a tablesaw, except if you have a good shop vac you can hook up. I recently got a Rigid brand from Home Depot which is a tremendous improvement over the 10 year old one I replaced. The cartridge filters need to be cleaned more often than I like, but it really sucks the particles out of the air.

If you are sanding to smooth the hull and deck before glassing, you might be able to use a plane and a scraper to make big, non floating debris.
I particularly like scraping, but it does take lots of re-sharpening to do a useful job.

What boat are you building?
