g) TEAK!
There is very little teak on the outside of the!
boat, so only the best quality should be used. Avoid the!
use of "Afromosia" which is not teak.!
Use only Burma teak.!
VARNISH OR OIL
On the outside, we believe it is more practical!
to wash the wood and oil it, rather than varnish and have!
to re-varnish continuously.!
BOLTS
The teak caprail must be bolted every 8" in!
between the bolts which are already in place on the deck.!
These bolts are part of the structure and should be 4"!
apart. The teak on top of the bowsprit section that!
extends beyond the front of the boat must be latticed in!
order to allow water to flow through, so it will not tear!
away.!
h) BOWSPRIT!
The bowsprit may be purchased pre-fabricated!
from "Tops-in-Quality" (£92). It is important that it be!
manufactured with the proper size material; the bobstay!
cables should also be constructed of the proper!
material. Remember that heavy pressure can be applied to!
this unit and the pole of the headstay is very high.!
