deck covering

[dawnsall]

I have a westerly with a laminated teak deck which is now in need of renewal. I know this is a long job but the deck was at least put on with a mastic rather then epoxy. The question is what to replace it with, bearing in mind the fact that i want to keep the resale value of the boat as high and as desirable as possible. I have been thinking of the teak deck substitutes such as flexideck and tek dek. Any ideas and thoughts greatly appreciated.

The only way to go is teak..... laminates look okay but it's not teak is it. Teak as long as it's laid correctly will last 20 or more years and you can always sand the teak back as well in years to come. I'm replacing the teak on my boat at the moment. we had this ply/teak laminate that kept lifting.
