When we bought Web
Commander she had a standard glassfiber deck in the cockpit. Over the
years the deck had become very worn. Previous owners evidently tried to
touch up the looks by painting the deck white. Apart from the fact that
the paint eventually started to wear off, the anti-skid pattern was more
or less filled with paint. Finally one of the engine hatches showed
signs of cracks.
A simple repaint was
not the solution. Instead we decided to let Wasa Yacht's fine carpenters
make a new teak deck on top of the existing deck. It turned out
beautifully and has really added to the atmosphere in the cockpit. Very
nice to put your feet on as well!

Teak deck
The
teak deck in the cockpit of Web Commander. The high gloss varnished teak
table sit on a single aluminum leg. The table top folds in three
sections and the leg can easily be removed. THe table can be turned any
direction for additional flexibility.
Laying out the teak deck
The teak deck was
fastned to the original deck by screws and Sikkaflex. We are now moving
into the 8th season and still no leaks!
