Flexiteek Decking

Client Project: Swan 56

When the very successful and well renowned Swan 56 cruiser-racing yacht ‘Noonmark VI’ came to Ancasta Yacht Services wanting a complete teak deck replacement, our experienced team of skilled craftsmen took on the project with pride.

With a teak deck dating back to 1998, ‘Noonmark VI’s’ deck had fared exceptionally well, but due to her busy schedule of yacht races worldwide, the deck was becoming worn and needed a modern replacement.

The boat captain requested a premium, high quality teak deck – only the best would do for this beautiful racing yacht.

Why use Ancasta Yacht Services?

Undercover Workshops

We have three sizeable bays in our huge sheds in the Hamble Yacht Services boatyard. This allows us to keep your yacht undercover when the deck is being repaired or replaced, giving you significant cost savings by eliminating the need for a full shrink-wrapped tent outside (and reducing unnecessary plastic use) and avoiding unnecessary delays caused by the weather. We can build staging around the boat inside our sheds to provide easy access to the decks if required.

Modern Teak Laying

Modern teak deck layouts tend to have fewer joins than older ones, meaning our teak and joinery team can lay up custom built teak panels to reduce time and therefore cost.

Making templates of the deck areas out of 6mm MDF, the teak is then laid out and caulked together in the workshop before the panel is glued onto the deck in one piece. This process is much quicker than conventional methods and produces a neater finish due to increased control and better working conditions - it is much easier to lay the planks and margins on a workshop table than on the yacht itself.

The side deck panels, however, are laid directly onto the deck using pre-rebated strips of teak which are pulled into the sheer of the yacht using special clamps. It is also possible to apply teak without the rebate and with full depth seams.

Precision Teak Fitting

The biggest challenge for the team when laying a new teak deck is making sure that the teak looks symmetrical. The very nature of boats means that their decks are never 100% symmetrical, especially when there are hatches and deck fittings to work around. So, we take care to lay the panels with the utmost precision. This sometimes means shaving just 1mm off each piece of wood to reduce a margin across the whole width of the panel to make sure it matches on both sides of the yacht. Care is also taken to ensure that placement of the snape joins are uniform and follow the natural flow of the deck. Butt joins are hidden under deck fittings where possible, and long planks are used to reduce the number of joins on show.

The Finishing Touch

Once the teak panels are complete, they are fixed in place using sikaflex 298 bedding compound and vacuum bagged down to create a secure bond. The use of sikaflex instead of epoxy allows the decking to breathe and flex with the boat and helps avoid any spill damage to other parts of the yacht. The deck is then left for two weeks to cure before the team sands it back to 80 grade grit with orbital sanders and the deck fittings refitted.

Skilled Joiners 

Adam is the Ancasta Yacht Services Boat Building Team Leader, he has boatbuilding in his blood with his father a cabinet maker, his uncle a boatbuilder and his grandfather was a steelworker on ships. Living by the sea, Adam tells us that working on boats was the most natural thing for him to do, and he is proud to continue his family trade. Having has learnt his skills from the best, he has laid teak decks for over 2 decades. Backed up by a large team of skilled boat builders and joiners, we take pride in every project we take on.
