Following up on last fall’s hull work, the 61′ Sea Striker (Jarrett Bay’s 23rd hull) is back for the winter, after a great summer and fall season of fishing.
During her stay over the next couple of months, the covering boards will be stripped, a new base layer of okume plywood will be added and then finished with all new teak. In addition, the cockpit floor/sub-floor will be cut out and replaced, also getting new teak decking. With the sub-floor out for a short amount of time, it’s also a perfect opportunity to replace any necessary hosing or wiring to ensure peak performance down the road.

I own an Ocean Yacht Sportfish and would like to refinish my teak deck. The condition of the boards are fairly rough, but nothing some sanding can’t fix. I’ve done some research on the internet about after treatment on teak and have seen a lot of different opinions on what to do. Leave it alone, lightly sand it every year, use oil, use a sealer, etc. I’ve always admired Jarrett Bay’s craftsmanship and one day hope to own a Jarrett Bay, so i figured I’d ask the pros. What do you guys put on your teak covering boards and decks? I forgot to mention that I use an aft cover on the boat while not in use to help minimize the UV damage. Thanks,
Chris
