Lotus Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Front hatch locking mechanism and hinges . Using a sunroof lock from an old Landrover freelander !! Fortunately this type of lock has stainless steel shaft and springs The hinges are bent to the shape required The hatch door itself is cut from a 10mm acrylic sheet and close on to an 8mm self adhesive D rubber profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I`ve decided to cover the front deck (passage), the 2 steps and the driving platform with synthetic teak . the advantage over solid wood is its lightness and it is maintenance free ! But still confused which strip direction looks better for my boat !! Any thoughts are much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscott Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 The top one for sure if you can bend the strips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccormick Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I like the top one too. Very classic look. To finish the look add a king plank. It's work, but is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscott Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 It would probably be better if you used a notched 'king plank' or joined the planks at the center-line herringbone fashion to avoid feather edges, also nib the short planks on the inside of the decks into the 'covering boards' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I made some cardboard drawing for the decking I like the kingplank design and is professional but it looks too classic for this boat The herringebond type looks fine but for some reason I cant place the center line ( where planks meet ) in the center !! Not sure about the other 3 designs ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul356 Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I vote for no. 3 in the multi-foto post. Elegant, balanced, classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Synthetic teak ready ! I went for the King-plank type but but with pointed corners for more modern look . Thanks for all your opinions guys , it made a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
