Rotten deck lifted

deck saturated and fibreglass delaminated, guy had tried to add buoyancy in the form of milk carton, pepsi bottles and even sun tan cream bottles, mind you there wasn't very many of them, burnt 4 baskets of them

    No it's a Wilson 23 hull sold the fastworker
    The croft is a safe enough distance from the harbour eddie

    what are you going to use for the deck Barry?

    relay 12mm marine ply, will resin the underside of it to seal it and then screw it down with stainless screws, fill the counter sunk heads in and then lay probably either 2 or 3 layers of 900gram fibreglass on it

    the reason I ask is the guy who is doing the Cygnus hulls along the road from me is using stuff called neediplas(I think)it's a honeycombe sandwhich of fibreglass that won't rot! and it's not much dearer than marine ply

    Aye have heard about that stuff my brother got a hatch off a guy in Edinburgh for the deck, guy thats got the cygnus cyclone mould I think, we have replaced decks before using the sealed plywood and never had problem with rot, only seen rot appear when the underside hasn't been properly sealed in

    decked one with phenolic board once - utterly indestructable stuff, expensive but maybe worth thinking about
