Teak Marine USA Inc. are proud to announce that they are building New Teak Decks for the M/Y Betty. Betty, currently undergoing a refit at Lauderdale Marine Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL is a 39 m 127 (ft) well sized composite vessel.
In 2001 Betty was formally launched in Aarhus, Denmark by Royal Denship. The motor yacht superstructure is fabricated largely from composite. With a width of 8.11 meters or 26.6 feet the M/Y Betty has a fairly large interior.
This semi custom Royal Denship 125 Classic yacht is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system which reduces roll motion effect and results in a smoother more enjoyable cruising experience. She also features bow thrusters, making her more maneuverable at low speeds. Betty is built to comply to MCA and DNV standards.
Teak Marine USA began by building precise templates of each deck. Teak Marine USA Inc. take great pride in the level of care and attention to detail applied when building templates. Accurate and precise template patterns are essential when designing and building a teak deck. Templates enable faster, more accurate construction of teak decks. They are paramount to the successful completion of this process.
BUILDING TEMPLATES OF THE TEAK DECKS:
The old weathered teak decks were then removed and the sub-decks faired to provide a proper camber for drainage. Fairing is the process of creating or shaping a surface to provide a smooth line; free of low spots, hollows or bumps. The surface of the deck must be true and fair to provide proper camber and set the foundation for the successful installation of the new teak decks. Camber is best described as a slight arching, upward curve, or convexity, which one normal sees on the deck of a yacht. The correct camber enables water to run off the deck and drain properly.
OLD TEAK DECKS:
Thereafter, construction of the new teak decks began at our purpose built facility located at Anglers Avenue Marine Center. As stated above, the key to constructing accurate teak decks is the precise nature of the templates. Accurate templates, without the room to build the new teak decks is not enough. At Teak Marine USA Inc., we have sufficient space at our purpose built facility, to lay-out the templates and commence construction of the new teak decks.
