Re: Is there life left in this teak deck?

Having owned a Rob 35 [Teak hull], with Teak decks, and another Teak decked sail boat, and being a Shipwright, who has worked on MILE'S of Teak deck's, i would firstly measure the thickness of the deck, you need at least 1/2",if cupping is happening, it's to thin to save, and the fastening's that CheoyLee used is BRASS, not BRONZE, they will be mush, if you are going to refasten, just drill into the plug, if there still is one, with a counter sink,with a stop, so you don't drill to deep, dip the screw [stainless steel is fine] in epoxy set screw in place, and set a plug over the top, as there will be epoxy in the hole,after replacing all the screw's, you will probably need to recaulk, get a FEIN multi tool, they have RUBBER cutting blade's in 3 sizes, they are "U" shaped,you will save DAY'S with this tool, and do a better job than hand cuttinq, after removing the rubber where necessary, clean the side's of the channel with an abrasive, clean with Acatone, put a bond breaker in the bottom, to eliminate pullout from the sides, tape the edge, both side's, caulk,putty knife to make sure there is no void's, i like to tape the edge with 3 or 4 layer's, to obtain a ridge, which can be cut flush later, best not to sand, as you will lose thickness, i know it looks good, but only temporary, cut plug's with a sharp chisel, again best not to sand, and as a foot note, Cheoy Lee used Plywood in a deck core, not foam, ect., i had been to their factory in Hong Kong a number of time's, and lastly,lastly, DO NOT clean the decks with ANY brush, a mop works well, with some dish washing soap in a bucket of salt water,AND oiling only attracts dirt.

Easy to acid wash and see what it looks like after.

My Fein came with a couple of these blades. I've experimented with them and they do indeed make the job a lot easier.

Mine looked like that when I decided to tear it up.

The sooner you get it up the better really.

Re: Is there life left in this teak deck?

Found a number of UK suppliers after changing my search term to mention teak decks. In the end ordered a 3mm version from Folkestone Fixings Ltd via eBay. They stock the 3mm, 4mm and 5mm versions at about £25 each.

Sailing Skua is a YouTube channel. They purchased an old teak decked boat and ended up redoing the deck. Looks like a huge amount of work to me.

Re: Is there life left in this teak deck?

I decided to heed (almost) everyone's advice and pass on this Cheoy Lee. It is a beautiful boat but I am not ready to take on a giant project right now. Thanks to everyone who posted for sharing your thoughts!
