Hi All
teak desks replace with an alternative or what?
In the May issue of Yachting Monthly there is an article under Survey, Survey Survey in which 3 boats on the 2nd hand market are discussed. Two of these a Oyster 39 (1979) and a Hallberg Rassy 42 (1981) have very poor teak desks. So much so that replacement costs of 25K plus are mentioned.
Much that we may all love new teak desks, is their any other alternative to have your desk replaced? Is this cost 25% in case of the Oyster worth it. ? Boat is on offer at 79.5K. These are not new boats and the new owner is looking for long term liveaboard usage.Would it be Ok to remove all the teak and replace with, to start this theme, Treadmaster?
Would not effect the sailing of these boats and your long term ownership.
best regards and a happy Easter
