cockpit seating

[Appleyard]

The cockpit seating on my boat appeared to be solid teak..however due to water lying in one corner it was looking a bit worse for wear. I examined it more closely and discovered that it is not solid teak,rather teak ply,about 6 mm thick,routed to give the impression of solid teak,with the joints caulked black . It would seem to be a simple job to lift the old ply and replace with new,routing the joints and caulking black as before. Has anybod done this? Is Teak faced marine ply available,if so where?

I replaced mine over last winter. Went to the local (non boat) woodyard and bought a massive mohogany plank. This has replaced both sides of the cockpit. (6 foot length each side) cut into about half for the quarter locker lids. The plank cost me a little over fifty quid. The whole thing now looks great.

I did just that on my first boat for a fake wood deck , i used a circular saw rather than a router for less chip out on the ply face .
