Rejuvenating a teak deck on the 40-foot catamaran Nandji - Frothlyfe involves removing approximately 600 hex-head screws to prevent water ingress into the core.4:30 The process requires manually extracting each screw with a hand screwdriver to avoid stripping the heads, drilling out the holes to the fiberglass layer, and filling them with epoxy and new teak bungs.6:08 The owner opted to retain the 8–10mm thick teak rather than replacing it, noting that professional quotes for the work exceeded $2,000.4:10 After completing roughly 500 bungs, the crew paused the project due to a shortage of supplies and moved the vessel from Chalong Bay to seek a quieter anchorage.12:52 The transit involved navigating 20-knot winds and strong tidal currents, which created short, steep, choppy seas.15:51 The crew plans to continue the deck work and other maintenance, including a rig replacement, to prepare the vessel for upcoming offshore passages.13:42 Removing screws and sealing holes with epoxy effectively eliminates potential leak points in the deck core.8:58
