This is Polly, a
54 foot Nauticat
sailing yacht. After 20 years the
original deck was in a bad way and
needed replacing.
Over one kilometre of new planking
was laid in total.
Although much
more work the
decision was made to only glue the
planks down and use no screws.
The results speak for themselves
and the chance of deck leaks in the
future eliminated.
Polly's step by
the companionway.
Each letter is shaped from the solid
so that even as it wears it will stay
in shape.
This picture
shows the step before
the sikaflex was applied.

plank for the
foredeck.
