It’s not exactly the teak but some “nails” coming out of the teak. I will try to explain. It seems that the teak pieces, before glowed, where held together using a kind of stapler like an opposite “pi” (the Greek “p” letter). Over the years, teak became thin and now those stapler nails are exposed (1mm max) and could scratch your pants (and not only!). I cannot remove them neither hit them (they have nowhere to go besides GRP). Unfortunately I don't have any pictures and cannot explain better. Probably a Beneteau owner with similar problem will know what I mean.
Any idea what to do besides replacing the whole thing?
