I received a call from the LTL carrier that the recently placed teak order had arrived, and so arranged to pick up the material from the warehouse. The teak order was carefully packaged on two lengths of pallet, protected with cardboard, shrink-wrapped and metal banded.
After getting the order back to the shop, I removed the teak from its packaging and placed it into the shop.
The order consists of enough material to replace all of the boat's weathered, and in some areas disintegrating, brightwork. A total of 6 4/4" boards:
1 board measuring 9" X 102" - for the taff rail, aft cockpit trim, and companionway trim
3 boards measuring 8" X 100, 102 and 108 for the coaming boards, cockpit seat trim, and companionway trim
2 boards measuring 5" X 121" and 6" X 121" for the toe rails and rub rails
There will be bases fabricated for the cabin top cleats and the aft deck stand-up block, as well as the aft deck cam cleat for the mainsheet.
