Nice job. I built Yachts for 15+ years. i was the TDS (Teak deck system) crew lead for a few of the years and you can buy or make a hot-knife with a squared tip and easily cut the rubber out. another more manual but simple way is to start by cutting the edges free all the way down to the sole, and sometimes at a 45 degree from both sides, and then with a 1/4 inch chisel scrape the rubber off the sole. using a 3/16 inch sanding block, sand the teak edges and the sole down to fresh clean dry substrate. Vacuum, and lastly Acetone or MEK wipe. One thing is you never do a color restore sand job until you have the joints refilled. which leads me to the caulking of the deck, after the solvent wipe, mask each and every joint ensuring all edges are tight and sealed. Use a pneumatic or power caulk gun and do a section that you can tool smooth before it skins over. I use a plastic spreader with a 5/16 or so half circle gouge removed. (the grove should just barely be wider than the joints).

Dom I hope you are getting some sleep, how is Carly and the little one, is Hank happy to have a little brother....good to have you back, hopefully back on the sea soon too

[@MiQBohlin]

Hello Dom,

[@ClanGunnBushcraft]

Crackin job!

[@JayPerrypersonal]

You can actually get a tool attachment for your fine tool to remove caulking, like a hook.

[@davidmontgomery1016]

Can't wait to see the end product. I'll bet it's going to look fabulous.

[@Neilhuny]

Well, I for one am very impressed with Willet Marine, their knowledge and their attention to detail!

[@Tomm9y]

Seeing you squeeze into a locker, reminds me how I've become fitter and more flexible clambering on/off/around the boat in recent weeks, preparing to launch, boat yoga doesn't need a guru, it is dictated by the things in obscure spaces that need attention. Being accustomed to boring moulded in non-slip decks I am in awe of the work involved in reonvating a teak deck. Perhaps it's an opportunity to rebed/renew some deck fittings, with trusty butyl tape.

[@chrisockleton5072]

Looks amazing Don! Must have been hard graft to get it looking that good, she’s certainly a well build yacht! Hope your family are all doing well

[@Tomm9y]

Regarding the Willet Shed, a great spcae to carrying out the work. I mourn the lack of planning controls to preserve boat yards, boat sheds, these are vital waterside amenities, yet waterside land is too often being developed into apartment blocks, while the marine industry and boating need more space to store and work on boats.

[@Zabessa]

She's already looking amazing Dom, can't wait for part 2. By the by, I don't think anyone triggered by a claustrophobic lazarette should be watching boaty KZbin. Hope the family are thriving :)

[@iansandford5529]

Felt your pain in that locker - good to make sure it can’t fall down - a guy got locked in his by the catches when the wind blew it. Luckily he was on the hard at Ridge and someone heard him shouting! Imagine being stuck in that space you were in!

[@bdphourde]

If you can find an older file, bend the tang backwards toward the other end. The tang can be used down in the groove to scrape out the leftover caulk. Bend and shape to suit the task and you can make it almost as wide as the groove. It will work well as a pull scraper to clean out the channel. A sharp leading edge on both sides will help to cut the caulk as you scrape the inside of the channel. I agree nothing dresses a boat, in my opinion, like a beautiful teak deck. I really regretted having to remove mine but it was too thin to salvage.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi, there is a special tool that rake out the caulking just looks like a 90° flat screwdriver. Anyway you’ll work it out. Just me telling you what to do. Most people don’t listen anyway LOL if you don’t get it all out you can cause issues

[@jcfgh]

Crikey, you make it look quick, but that is a LOT of work. Well done!!

[@atuanderson]

Don't you just love boat yoga? 🙃 😂❤ The deck is looking spiffy! Awesome job! ⛵️👏

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , it is making a lot of difference , SPIFFEY as others might say , regards to your family and hope every one is making head way .

[@jasonchamberlin1532]

Good work on the decks. So glad I sold my boat with teak decks though! Quite happy to just admire other people’s

[@theyard6958]

OPEN HATCH !!!!! I recommend you make temp plugs/covers for all open hatches. I cant tell you how many people I have seen fall or nearly fall down a hatch. ( Myself included)

[@PitStopCrew]

I’m guessing that was a few weeks work shown in 8 mins - but the results are spectacular. Good job mate.
